THURSDAY 5 SEPTEMBER
Gone symptoms still gone (restless leg, stabbing pains, snap jaw). There is great hope in that. If those symptoms can go away, so can others.
Around August 6, laps in the garage suddenly became fluid and consistently less difficult. With minor exceptions that continued for twelve days. I wasn’t able to test that properly in the street due to the extreme heat, and movement around the apartment was less fluid and unpredictable, but I actually looked forward to garage walks. My voice was strong and clear. Every day brought new surprises in ease of movement. It was great.
Then on August 18, it was suddenly difficult to walk again. Movement in general became a strain. In fact movement went back to what it was in late June, but I had become used to flow and going back was no fun. However, the “good” period was the longest I’ve had in years.
On Wednesday 21st my legs were suddenly very weak and poverty of movement was extreme. My voice was reduced to nearly a whisper.
On Saturday my voice came back, strong and clear. Legs were made of jelly. Then the voice went away again. And so it stands, waiting for another cycle to begin.
