[Rev. Charles D. Good]

I’ve have numerous other chronic illnesses:  hypertension, type 2 diabetes, Gerd,
high cholesterol, various mental issues, such as Major Depression, and PTSD.  All are treated with medications. PD presents the greatest difficulties for me re balance, insomnia, and the beginning of my legs twitching at night. I was DX in June 2020 during the Pandemic.  I am 68, live with my wife and my son and his family.  I’m an early stage PWD, and am already on Carbidopa/Levadopa.

I got a life-alert and feel a lot more secure

Robert Harris.  I absolutely love your response to the question.  While I may not be as far along in the progression as you are,  there are many things you have shared that are absolutely true for me.  Thank You for being honest and sharing.

In the initial stages, which I am told I am in, it is sometimes difficult to get my wife to understand my mood swings, my “off” periods, my lack of ability to control my body temperature, and other things.  I am trying to get her to do some reading (from others) so she doesn’t think I am crazy.  I am finding it is an ongoing struggle for those who are not dealing with PD, to accept and understand what is happening.
