We went for my second treatment and it was more painful than the first. The actual sessions are 20 minutes but since he does not take appointments you may wait a while to see him. It is a good time to listen to the other patients stories and share mine.
So far we have met Harriet, Ben & Susan. Susan was amazing. She had been going to Edward for many years and went through a treatment mostly smiling. I felt stronger than yesterday and was able to drive home. I noticed less tension in my shoulders and was able to sleep through the night except for one trip to the bathroom. I also cut my Myrapex to .75 mg two times a day with no ill effect.

We went for my third treatment. It was the most painful yet. It was difficult to walk. Edward told me that I need to move more. He said, “Running water does not spoil”.
We met Sandy and Jim. Jim was new like me and was having a difficult time. Sandy had been seeing Edward for a while and did much better. Edward showed me four exercises he wants me to do at least 30 reps of each daily. The exercises are: (1) Throwing the ball backwards, (2) Kicking the dog, (3) Lifting the heavens, (4) Seeing the heels.
I performed them for the first time tonight. I feel like I’m talking a little clearer tonight.

I had a difficult episode in the middle of last night, around 1:30 a.m. I woke up ad felt very anxious -- like when I first started coming off Mirapex. After an hour of tossing and breathing exercises I took an Excedrin PM and slept until 8:30. I felt much better when I awoke.
Today’s treatment was much less painful. Harriet was there and continues to have very difficult time. She has had 17 treatments and according to Edward is not being “brave”. So I decided to be brave and it seemed to work. The treatment took less time because I was not resisting. I’m hopeful that I have achieved some sort of break through. Time will tell.
