It’s been a year since I last posted!
The year was ok in general. But 3 months ago I saw my voice specialist. Last time I’d seen him was 4 years ago. I still can’t sing past C above middle C and on that particular day last October I was getting over a cold so I could sing down to the C below middle C. This is exactly a tenor’s range!
The voice specialist had me read a short story while he was making a video of my vocal cords. He compared it to the exact same thing from 4 years prior. I had zero memory that I’d read that very same story before but I had.
In his notes, the voice doctor noted the tremor in my hands and wrote that my voice now has a tremor! I showed these notes to my primary doctor and to my Pdoc. Pdoc decided to take me off Haldol and the cogentin that was supposed to be for side effects from the Haldol. The cogentin I’d taken myself off because it gave me such a dry mouth!
Now I’ve been off Haldol for a couple of weeks and I can’t tell if my voice has a quaver in it or not because I couldn’t hear it in the first place. Maybe if was from the cold I was getting over at the time. Or maybe it really was the Haldol.
Pdoc also put me on Ativan for akathisia. I take it twice a day.
Hallucinations wise, I haven’t had any except maybe today when I thought I saw someone standing nearby our table at a restaurant but they vanished right before I turned my head up to get a proper look.
This is my update for now. I guess no one reads this except my dad and my friend in Florida.
