Hi. I am in Lynchburg VA

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Yes I do. I am experiencing a lot of anxiety about going out so I just don’t. My son shops and I don’t use much gas. So I basically only go to medical appts. I feel like I need to get over this. How have you all handled it?</p>

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks everyone for your encouraging words about my tech skills. I do struggle but I am blessed to live with my son and two college age grandsons.</p>
I get real tired of the depression, apathy and pain at 78 but my faith does keep me moving forward. I struggle with exercise but I know its vital. I go to a Parkinsons exercise class at the YMCA a couple of days a week and do some in between. -
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I am not always honest. In fact hardly ever. I don’t really have anyone I can be that honest with and it feels like most don’t want to hear it.</p>
I feel like I’m being whiney and I don’t want to turn people off.Most people approach me with the you look wonderful statement. They just are uninformed. I can’t give seminars about how it really is. Lol!!!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I do it too. It annoys my grandson but i didn’t know it until he pointed it out.</p>

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hey everybody. I thought my PD was progressing slowly but that is changing and I am now having off times and dystonia. The fatigue, depression and apathy are a struggle. The stress of all that is happening is definitely making it worse. I am tired of being isolated and alone all the time. I am grateful for life though and know this is necessary to keep everyone healthy.</p>
How are you all coping with all of this? -
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi. I am going to try this. Thank you all for sharing. It really helps me to read that others are struggling too. My biggest issues are fatigue, apathy and depression. I also have a lot of pain. I handle it through my faith, prayer and worship. I try to stay positive and upbeat as much as I can. Sometimes I too have to just slow down and rest. I enjoy warm baths, Christian TV, and reading. I also exercise but its not my favorite. Being stuck in the house all the time is hard for me. I am a people person. I do attend my Sunday School. Life Group, and Church on Zoom. That helps a lot.</p>
I was diagnosed in July 2018 and will be 78 next month. I have to tell you it rocked my world and it took a long time to come back from the devastation. But God is good and things are in a “new normal” now! Thanks for letting me share..

My tremor began in my right hand and progressed rapidly to the left side. Neurologist insisted it was essential tremor for a year. I moved and 2nd neurologist diagnosed PD. I started on carbodevalopa that first year for ET and responded well an indication that it was PD. to begin with. I already had many non-motor symptoms that I didnt know until I started researching after diagnosis.
