No I don’t worry about the virus.. I just wear my mask, although I hate it, keep my distance and go about my business. I have grocery shopped , clohes shopped and just walked around looking at things. My ponly physical issue is my PD ., so I guess I’m pretty fortunate. I have also restarted my Rsb class and we have in person support groups”.

I think that it is because your muscles around your face are not as sensitive and you don’t maneuver your utensils as well as you once did. At least that is my excuse …..and I, sticking to it!
I regularly look in a mirror after I eat to clean up and I often have to change shirts because the lettuce, which had ranch dressing on it , has left a big oily stain on my shirt.
yes, I could wear a bib but I don’t wanna….

I can usually get in pretty easily(just have to lift the left leg ) but it’s downhill from there… it takes me forever to reach my seatbelt and then once I’ve gotten it, it takes me another forever to find the darn hole to put it in . Recently my husband bought me an extender for the seat belt and that helps some. But getting out of the car is a real trip…I usually am tired when I’m getting out of the car and I think I’m in a hurry (don’t know why because I have very few time constraining commitments ).. I quickly put my left leg out of the car and then my body follows , except my darn right leg… it wants to stay and usually my toe gets caught on the inside molding. So far I’ve been able to maintain my balance and jerk it off , but I know that if I don’t slow down , I will be diving head first into the cement !

How about Ropinirole? Has anyone gone from it to Azilect? I’m asking because I take 6 mg. Of ropernerole Er once a day at night.i also take 16 Rytary 90-148:mg. Spread at 4 , 4 imes per day. When I first began the Rytary , I was on sinimet before, I immediately felt most of my rigidity lifted .. I could rolll over in bed, turn my neck easily to see traffic and a bunch of other things..also my balance , although not perfect was better….well in the last 9 months I’ve fallen at least 2 times per month and have broken my wrist and knee cap…… do you think I should ask my MDs bout Azilect , replacing the ropinirole with it?
I do RSB 3 times per week and have fallen twice during it, once was when I broke my wrist. -
Yes, I’ve totally illuminated shoes that tie.. ive got a new pair of tennis that have a catch on the bottom where you roll it and it tightens the laces. To get the shoes off, you click a button in the back and it loosens the shoe to take it off easily.. I tried panty hose ..once…I’ll never do that again”….I can still button my shirts and put in my earrings ,,….it just takes bout 30 minutes more time””, so I plan accordingly!

Yes, I have talked about it with my husband… we talked bout it some before PD (I’m the one w PD) but have revisited it since my diagnosis.. I want to die with dignity but don’t really know if that will happen w/me having PD….he too wants to die with dignity. Really though all we can do is pray that it occurs because it is out if our hands,.p. So sorry bout the loss of your pet..that is hard, too.j
thanks, Becky Adams
