Subject: Visit to Dr Kerr
????? I made my annual pilgrimage to see Dr. Kerr yesterday (9th visit in 9
years) and I want to update the list. As usual he adjusted and or added meds
based on my main problems. I am going to try and stop taking the
4-aminopyridine (potassium channel blocker) and see if I notice any negative
feelings...if I do I will go back on it. I am also cutting out the diazapan I
take at night to sleep and replacing it with a prescribed sleeping pill...which
hopefully will not leave me groggy in the morning as I still work full time and
drive more than 1 hour each way (welcome to New York). He also recommended that
I cut down on some of my exercise such as the treadmill and replace it with
swimming. Up to now I have been swimming and exercising, so i will just do the
swimming which is low impact and will not mess up my knees,hips etc.?
???? As always I asked him when he is going to perform stem cell surgery on
me....his answer was "after the next President takes office". It does not
matter which party you vote for (McCain is for Stem cells) as long as Bush is
gone. This surgery may come to late for me as I am now 60 and have had TM over
10 years, but I am certain that in the next few years help will be available to
both the younger victims as well as the older people whose occurance is less
than 2 years old. I even asked if any procedures were being performed on humans
in other parts of the world such as Israel or China and he implied that America
is the furthest along on stem cell research.
???? I? am probably leaving out some things so feel free to ask any questions
you like. As always Dr. Kerr makes me feel somewhat better and remains the
only?Neuro I see.
My very best to all of you!!
Rob in New Jersey
