After about 15 years of Parkinson's disease, I think it is a chronic phase. In fact, I feel that the mechanism of the symptoms is different, even if it is the same sagging legs. In the past, I did indeed feel that I could not move my muscles, but now, apart from that, there is pressure from above on the blood vessels in my legs, causing venous blood and lymph fluid to pool and become stagnant. This is why I feel heavy and my legs don't move. This is what it feels like. It is not certain whether the veins are really under pressure at this time. Even if the veins are stretched, the strength of the leg muscles must be stronger, so it is doubtful that there is really enough pressure to make the leg muscles immobile. This latter one, according to the textbooks and technical books so far, is probably a sagging leg due to the autonomic mechanism. If it were only the muscular mechanism, the patient would be able to fly and change direction, but with this hypothetical autonomic mechanism, I don't think it would be possible for the patient to fly at all. However, if I were to ask for a prescription for autonomic medication, it would add to the 10 or so medications I am currently taking, and it would be difficult to adjust the dosage, and the side effects would be complex and varied. So I try to keep it as simple as possible, changing the dosage and ratio of the first drug according to the different symptoms, looking for a place where I can tolerate it well. So far, that has been manageable. So the Menecit has not increased too much. What will happen in the future? I am a little worried. I am not sure what will happen in the future, but I am sure things will turn out the way they are supposed to. Perhaps that is why the descriptions in the book suddenly lose their power. The patient then becomes like a small boat that has lost its compass. This time it is a lost lamb.
