The key to treatment is “eliminating the symptoms of the disease.(3)” At this point, they have found no cure to this illness, but (luckily) the symptoms are lessoned. “The older medications can cause extra pyramidal side effects, such as rigidity, persistent muscle spasms, tremors and restlessness.(3)” These are some of the things that I went through when I was going through the drug cycle trying to find the best combinations to improve my situations. I remember one time my brother would try to get me to stop moving; other times I would go to sleep and move my leg uncontrollably all night long. I would have troubles falling asleep and wake up with really sore muscles. This would really bother me and worried me. It even got so bad that my handwriting was affected by it. Different people in my head were controlling my handwriting. I was continuing in school and I had to read the small shaky writing to my teachers and others around because it wasn’t readable. I sure loved my handwriting for the fact that it was my own when they no longer had control.
