Hellp Steve I see you are still doing the weekly check-in so I thought I would check-in for a change. As you have probably noticed I haven't been posting as much as I had a few years ago but I still check in almost everyday to see how everyone is doing. I moved on May 1st to a small bungalow, much easier to maintain and now I don't have to have tennants to help pay for the mortgage. I have been doing some renovations, trying to make it feel like my own. There have been lots of ups and downs of course but over all I am still keeping up . Yes I have progressed and it is noticable but I am trying to keep the meds at as low a dose as I can tolerate. I was starting to get side effects from the Sinemet when I increased over the winter. So I have cut back and I am doing much better. Its a fine line between over medicated and undermedicated. Still single and dating, sometimes I think I should give it up, it seems to cause me a lot of stress at times. Living alone is easier on my P.D. but it is also lonely at times. Always seem to be trying to find that balance.
Yes the non motor symptoms of P.D. can be worse than the physical ones at times. I have had my share of depression and anxiety and I know what you are talking about. Exercise, fresh air, sunshine and getting out with friends and family all help a lot. Hope you are feeling better.
