I think the medicine is working!
And the side effects (tiredness and headache) have lessened, as well, because for the past three days I haven't felt the need for a nap, and every time I get a headache, I drink a cup of water and it goes away (so it's a dehydration headache, not a side effect headache).
My leg feels heavy (and my foot likes to turn in when I walk) most of the time, and my hand is spazzy more times than not. So these things haven't changed. My first therapy is Jan 7, and I will be asking about a brace for my foot and my hand. I will also ask about botox for my hand (I have researched the pros and cons and the cons seem to be concentrated on children).
Praises and prayer requests all around!
