About Me
Still working but left leg is slowing me down sometimes. Have two jobs still and working 60+hours a week. One is a desk job and the other is sales. The one thing that stops me is stress and a little excess saliva. But if I get in a stressful situation, my left leg freezes and I must drag it until I calm down. I'm 51 and otherwise very active, but can no longer run... The disease may have triggered by new retail sales job. Since it was commission sales, I rarely ate or drank enough fluids, until I started being awakened by leg cramps, and hand cramps. But, still I pushed on.
