I was a breast stroke swimmer in high school. I have had Parkinson’s disease since 2013. Recently started swimming again and found with the breast stroke and side stroke I feel so uncoordinated that I stand still in the water. It is quite disheartening. I can still do the crawl fairly easily and can move thru the water with some speed, but I feel like a fish out of the water with the other two (n0 pun intended). At any rate, it is good to hear of others peoples concerns as well. Sometimes  I feel like I’m all alone out there. Thank you all for sharing.

I am curious to see if it works!

I developed what I call “screaming diarrhea”.  I stopped the entacapone and then started it again and the diarrhea came back. This happened three times. Needless to say I do not take any more. I wish you luck.

I really want to thank those folks who wrote in on this subject. I too become frustrated especially on a “good day” when things go south. I appreciate the advice I will try to follow the suggestions given. I know my wife feels the frustration as well and many times I add to that frustration. This disease is unfair because my mind can do so many things my body cannot.

It seems the more tired I become or as the evening wears on my symptoms become worse. The symptoms I am referring to are speech problems, incoordination, and balance.
