The 1st thing that happened to me there, I experienced numbness from feet to chest. I was nervous for the first time I felt that way. My friends helped me, they took me to the hospital. When I described it, they suggested me to the Neurologist and then when they tested my walking, standing, etc because my foot was moving spontaneously even if I didn’t move it, my hand felt stretch. It doesn’t hurt but I feel numbness. I was given Dogmatil, Clozapine and anti-psychosic drugs. What happens when I take it is drowsiness. I take it every morning and evening and the doctor also said that while the symptoms were still mild. At work my boss notices me, I say I’m sleepy and dizzy. My sleeping patterns are no longer good, from my room to the kitchen I was out of balance, I totally faded, totally blacked out and then I fell down and then my head hit, I changed. I don’t know what I look like but all I know is that I heard myself fall. My roommate went to see me and took me to the hospital. When I had an MRI, they said I had clots, then my doctor advised me to rest so I was sent home to the Philippines. I was taken to the UST hospital, the doctor said I need to take medicine on time in case I don’t take it once on time or I forget. It is also bad when the medicine is not taken on time. 2016 the doctor confined me, after a month and the doctor’s recommendation to rehabilitate so I was brought here. To take the medicine. I’m so skinny then because I have no appetite, I’m being forced to eat what’s on the food tray but I’m not really sick so I’m dizzy. Recovered, lost the dizziness.

Now by monitoring me, I have gained weight reduced by half, just every evening. It is said that the tendency is when there is medicine in the morning, to eat, after a few hours to be drowsy, to really gain weight, so I decrease the dosage. ” N- “When were you taken to homecare?” P-“2016, more than 5 years too” N- “What’s your plan when you’re out?” P-“Back to work abroad.
