Hooray! The New Medication appears to have been working well for Days!

Last Tuesday I started the new Neuro med and it has been working. My Neurologist has been having me increase my dose every three days, and I have not been experiencing many headaches. Last Wednesday my Physical Therapist also informed me that my left side has been improving in strength; however,my Vestibulo-occular testing results are still poor so on Monday I'll see my previous Neuro-Opthamologist at Swedish for additional testing. Apparently, according to the therapists and doctors I have difficulty scanning or locating an object, I have large amplitude eye movements in the direction of head rotation, and have aberrant eye movements with no clear pattern. So we are hoping that Dr. Hamilton will be able to offer some suggestions on how this issue needs to be worked out. But for now I'm thankful that the headaches are under control.
