Those are my sentiments exactly. Though I'd still love to contribute to my profession and feel that I can to an extent, I'm just not sure that I can do it full-time. What makes it difficult for me is the need to hide my symptoms; I am currently seeking a position and have to make it through interviews while my meds are not predictably working for me- I have seen my neuro but tweaking things takes time. Some days, I'm incapacitated by dizziness that I attribute to Mirapex; I actually have to lie down for an hour before it goes away. If I felt I was in control and making the choice, I wouldn't mourn having to give up my career. Since I feel it's the PD making decisions for me, I feel out of control and that drives me batty.

Peony- Welcome to the forum. I enjoyed reading your experience. Oddly, a few studies show educational and medical professionals have a higher rate of PD. Who knows? Please, I hope you continue to share with us.
