- Limited effectiveness of available medications; treatments are for symptom management, not cure.
- Progressive nature of the disease leading to increased disability over time.
- Risks associated with diagnostic tests (e.g., rare allergic reactions to MRI contrast dye).
- Potential side effects from prescribed medications, such as dizziness, nausea, or confusion.
- Increased risk of complications like pneumonia from swallowing difficulties or injuries from falls.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery in the traditional sense does not apply, as PSP is a chronic, progressive condition.
- Post-diagnosis care involves long-term management through regular neurologist follow-up visits.
- Adherence to prescribed physical, occupational, and speech therapy regimens is crucial.
- Implementing home safety modifications (grab bars, removing trip hazards) to prevent falls.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
