Jaye you post here often and if I remember ocrrectly, you have mentioned you crochet. It's good to hear you are doing so well, and why! Keep it up!
My docs have also told me the symptoms I show are pretty mild, 4 years since diagnosis (with symptoms about 2 years prior to that).
I take carbi levo dopa 25/100 x4, detrol for bladder. No antidepressants yet. Exercise was helping so much, then I quit at the beginning of summer...lots of stuff going on. Am chomping at the bit to get back into it, after you stop for a hilwe, it's hard to go back.
One big thing for me is the meds; I am have been a horrible patient. Could never take them on time, would skip doses (or "forget" them) and felt physically, mentally and emotionally terrible. Not anymore...
And ditto every one on attitude...gotta keep a good one & try to hang around with other good ones, because a bad one can drag a person to the depths of despair.
