Its a New Day, A New Week and a New Month

Tweet

Happy May 3rd everyone. I haven't talked about it on My Lot but it has been a rough couple of weeks for my hubs. We (me and his healthcare providers) think that he had a very negative reaction to the Pfizer vaccine and a new medication he was taking. It has been scary, he was having hallucinations, compulsive behavior, confusion, and he has been falling a lot. It was very scary. Last week I contacted his neurologist and we lowered his medication but it didn't give the desired results. On Thursday he fell 4 times. I stopped his medication altogether. On Saturday night he slept 13 hours and woke up Sunday his old self. Please keep him in your prayers that this is the answer. We were at the neurologist today and while he is not as steady on his feet as I would like, he was coherent. We will be going to physical therapy and speech therapy to help him with his articulation and his balance. Hopefully, we have been through the worst of it but it is not over yet. I don' usually talk about personal things like this but I wanted to make everybody aware that it is quite clear that some medications can react badly with the vaccine. Al's doctor was beside herself and apologized, she felt terrible. But how could she have predicted his reaction to this combination? She couldn't have, no one knows these things. I knew the rapid onset of the symptoms was not normal for Parkinson's. I am not suggesting that anyone shouldn't take the vaccine, I believe it is a lifesaver but if you are taking any medication, be very aware of any interactions that are possible. I just hope we can get back where we were which while not perfect was something we could happily live with.
