I would like to share some of things I do to stay positive, Although my symptoms started January 2013, I was diagnosed in July with PBP and my symptoms are slurred, slow speech, difficulty swallowing especially liquids, uncontrollable laughing and crying at times and phlegm. I make a drink for the phlegm and it works so well. Fresh lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper (a very small amount) and mix it all with water.
My doctor has prescribed medications for anxiety and depression, and I take several vitamins. I go once a week to a massage and acupuncturist to relieve most of the stress which helps tremendously, and I try to walk everyday. I guess I do everything I can to stay positive. The most frustrating at this point is communication. I am blessed with a wonderful husband and two great kids and surrounded by supportive family and friends.
