Saw pdoc . He’s changed my dx to schizoaffective based on a history of mood symptoms.
He said I was in remission , but then mentioned 10-15% breakthrough symptoms to the student that was sitting in on the appointment . He mentioned about stopping the depot. I said ‘no’ as I wasn’t sure if I’d deteriorate off meds/have been better off on regular meds. Also remission is not the same as recovery. He’s agreed to move me onto a 3 monthly depot, which is what the depot nurse was pushing for.
He tested for tremor and cogwheel rigidity (Well got the student to do that). I had to make my arm go floppy , something I find very hard to do. There’s apparently a mild degree of both.
My stepdaughter did say part of the reason I’m doing better is that I’m near support, which I wasn’t in Essex.
