    I have CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia)also. It has not advanced enough to have to treat. I always thought it was related to the Parkinson’s.

    When I was in the US Navy in my late 20s to early 30s. I went from naval weapons station at Yorktown, Va. The USS Independence where we all were eating, drinking and breathing diesel fuel 24/7. I’m not sure if that had anything to do with my PD.

    I am now 67 and have been diagnosed with PD for approximately 7 years. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar history with PD.

    I would go with an Essentia mattress if I were ready to get a new one.

    I have been trying some nootropics like nicotine that seems to be working plus exercise, exercise, exercise.

    The most challenging part of holidays is the big groups of people make it nearly impossible to be join in the conversation. Or at loud restaurants the wait staff are generally so gracious and wanting to get the order correct it is nearly impossible to communicate. The masking with Covid does not help with communication issues ether.

    I have found nicotine to be an amazing help in concentration and energy both. But never through smoking. Nicotine in the form of gum or lozenges.. I recommend “Lucy Gum” or lozenges. I have also found that methylene blue is excellent for increased energy. The only real downside is a Smurf tongue. But if you are masking for Covid NBD.
