Thank you,

I control most symptoms at least as well as I see compared to those on meds. I seem to have fewer issues than those on meds. I did the meds for 4 years 7 years ago and was promptly addicted and sick to just about all of them...it took me 2 years to quit them......side effects and short effective span for the meds is a bad trade off for PD. I struggle for certain....I obviously have pd when you look at me but I don't feel as bad as I did on the meds and from years of reading complaints about side effects and wearing off etc. on this site and others I remain convinced the pill route is a scam plain and simple.....people mention how the pills change their lives for the better and 2-3 yrs later they come back with 10 times the complaints and new sets of pills. Just an opinion but I have been at this for a long time additionally....I have pd induced lung disease and the meds don't address that well...they keep wanting steroids but duh....steroids don't help with rigid chest wall muscles and diaphragms.....
peace!
