    Life is just a bunch of choices (mostly our own). My goal for 2024 is to make better choices. My PD goal is to get better than I was in 2023.

    I also take 1.5 Sinemet per day. However, I still get the curling of the toes throughout the day. Not sure that’s normal. Thanks for the book recommendation. I only wish they had a book like that that was published less that 8 years ago. With Sinemet its slow and steady that wins the race. Concern is building up a tolerance too soon with the medication that at this time is the Gold Standard for people with PD.
    Education is key, but just be careful about misinformation and snake oil salesmen.

    Working on weight and cardio at least 5x/week

    Change my diet to include more veges and less animal protein

    cut down or eliminate (yikes) processed sugar and processed carbs

    do the exercises my PT & OC gave me in addition to gym workouts

    Learn to juggle. sounds like fun and will help cognitively I hope.

    I also heard that that works. I wonder what’s the best gum out there that’s healthy for you with long term usage? Also it would make your jaw muscles get quiet the workout.
