Dreams | about a new toy | a magical toy that used a virtual space to create itself |

In last night's dreams, I was playing with a new toy that let kids project images of objects across a distance, and have the images be recognized by a reception device. The kids would choose an object from a menu of items, point the device (which looked like a remote control) at a reception device across the room. The image of the object would appear in space and move to the reception device. When the object encountered the reception device, it would be absorbed by the device and recognized. The reception device didn't have to be in the same room or in line of sight. The object image would go "looking for" a reception device and lock onto any one it encountered. We were having a ball playing with the objects and devices.

There was another dream sequence that I didn't recall, but it was dream with a mood and tone that still lingers.
************************************
Went to the neurologist today and confirmed the diagnosis of PD with him. I sent out the following health update (marked as Update #3) to my F&F distribution list... Will past a copy of that update at the end of this post.

Had dinner with RB. Had to stick with the Rasta Pea Dinner, but it was excellent. Was good to visit with RB and discuss my health strategies. He's been there/done that in spades. Lots of rain today along with thunder and lightning--auspicious day this day one of December.

RB said I looked relaxed and up. Still shaking and moving, but it's starting to slide into the background versus what I'm doing/engaged with. Tomorrow I'll read over the PDTreatment application to see if it needs any final tweaks, then ship it off. Have some blood tests that the doctors want me to have done, and the old favorite PSA sampling activity.

Here's the update #3 note that was sent out today:

Hi everyone--

I've seen the doctor and the neurologist and they both agree that I'm exhibiting early, "mild" symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (or as the PDRecovery people call it -- Rebellious Qi in the Stomach Channel).

I'm doing two, no three things as follow-ups to this diagnosis --
1. I won't be taking any antiparkinson drugs. The neurologist said that I should explore the next two things first, see what happens, and revisit the use of drugs questions after seeing what takes place with the alternative actions.
2. I'm going to start taking my Brain Sustain supplements again. I stopped taking them about the time the tremor/shaking manifested. I believe that the supplements were working and were holding off the PD symptoms. The supplements deal mostly with providing energy to the brain cells. It won't be a complex test--I'll restart the supplements and see if the shaking/tremor subsides.
3. I'm sending my data/info to the PDTreatment team, asking them to accept me into their program. My goal is to get an intake session with them and get a 2nd opinion from them regarding the symptoms, what they think the symptoms demonstrate, and what the team proposes as the next steps.

I am hopeful and somewhat relieved that I appear to have some space/time to work with the alternatives. Earlier this week, I did a restorative yoga class. After class I had a good meal, and for most of the evening the shaking/tremors were still and quiet. This outcome fits with what the PDRecovery people say about the issue--joy-based, dopamine-based thoughts and actions can help restore balance versus adrenaline-based, crisis-based actions and thinking, which only further deplete the system's resources.

That's the news for today... will continue to post updates as events (and miracles) unfold... Blessings to everyone for your support and love... Rzzzz
