Been a bit of a while since I last wrote and alot has happened…..

I have been to see my consultant. I spent hours driving around the M25, which I firmly believe would give anyone the shakes (rage). There must be some kind of deal between the highways agency and the makers of road cones just to put them across and along the bloody M25 for miles and miles when no work or other indication that anything is being done to the motorway!!!  My theory is that they do it just as a traffic calming measure. Hmmm.

I got to Cambridge with minute to spare and then waited for ages. The consult was good. I explained that I had recently ran the Ridgeway 85 (raised eyebrows from the consultant) but had gotten this small issue of the right leg, occasionally, doing its own thing when I run. I also explained the it was pretty bad while running the Henley Half…loads of invisable boxes to step across while looking like a true plonker. I didn’t know what I was assuming but I was of the mind that my good doctor would turn around and discuss this and then would state that I could be sorted by some yoga move or something… Instead he just smiled in that way that says that he had heard this before. End result is that he changed my meds. I still take the same as before but he has added a dopamine agonist to the mix. Check out wiki if you need to know what it is but what it boils down to is that it should, in the words of the doctor, “sort me out” for the next 5-10 years! Well…before brain surgery anyways. Good news. Yup!

One of the more interesting notes provided in the leaflet that accompanied the new meds, were the words, Hypersexuality. Not a term that I would normally associate with medication…I mean you’d never see that on the side of a cough syrup bottle do you? Watch this space…hopefully Tiger Woods can keep his crown.
