Medical Update: Thought yesterday was going to be a good day but turned out to be a really bad one and tremors and packed trains do not mix.  Journey took three and a half hours instead of two and four trains instead of two and my head shook the entire time and get losing my balance so stayed away from people and the tracks (Which wasn't easy as every where was packed).  Couldn't walk at one point and kept worrying i would freeze and wouldn't be able to get off the train.


When you have a broken foot most people are really nice to you and do whatever they can to help.  When you're having tremors people either stare at you and think you're crazy or they stare and pretend not to stare.  Tremors are not socially acceptable.  Hopefully at least everyone i know who has seen mine now will be a bit more understanding and nicer if they see someone else having them.  Making someone feel like a leper makes the tremors worse.


Just for the record, it is far easier to stand on a moving train with a broken foot than it is whilst having tremors.


Lost the ability to walk and talk again last night.
