MemberAugust 9, 2022 at 2:57 pm in reply to: Will you continue to get COVID boosters and vaccines?I will definitely take any booster available to me. I have not had covid and surely don’t want it in the future . I get a flu shot every year and if there is a booster for the variants i will be the first in line.

- Hi Bruce. I do the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes at 3 mph. I experience the same post exercise symptoms you described.
I go home and sit for awhile but still have some residual weak feeling in my legs throughout the day. I enjoy the treadmill and i just accept what follows.

MemberDecember 30, 2021 at 3:37 pm in reply to: Do you have theories about why you have Parkinsons?I also have Addisons disease and two other autoimmune diseases. Getting Parkinsons shocked me. I have found no connection with these other diseases and Parkinsons.
At times i cannot determine which disease is responsible for my multiple symptoms. I have played highschool and college football and spent 4 years in the military. I worked summers in a steel mill on the charging floor and in the flues under the furnace. I have advanced college degrees and worked in the medical field.
There is just no reason or clues i can find for the development of Parkinsons.
I don’t complain much but i am majorly disappointed. -
I as well bump, brush into and i think i have rounded off most corners of my home. Very few black and blue marks so far. The word “ouch” is used quite frequently.
I too drop things all the time. They just find a way to slip out of what used to be a secure grip. Gravity is winning . It is a good thing my keys are made of metal.

Just one persons opinion.

My fatigue increases in the afternoon hours. If I don’t sleep good at night the fatigue is an all day symptom.
