Dear dbiker -Thank you for asking!
I have had this Mr.Parkinson's following me around for 15 plus years,
it is very healthy to think on other modalities of health...
I am thankful that I had been told by a friend who passed away 3 years ago who had been a poet/ engineer/friend/ father/ and parkie
-to pretend you are not ill if at all possible* truly great advise...

We need to start thinking about other things besides ourselves - and PD...
if you really want to be your disease, think about it 24/7,

we need to bathe our minds and relax and possibly -quit thinking about PD, there are so many people on this forum -that are much worse than "Just us".

continue to broaden your psyche -
the subject of pure/and nothing else but the PD monster...makes me seek out - what is really actually "the most" important issues or people in my life..
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
