Parkinson's Disease and more!
 Oh boy! I feel like a snowball rolling downhill. I try to be positive, but sometimes i don't know how many more things can happen and how many more drugs I can take. I go to all these specialists and keep getting diagnosed with other conditions. Since being diagnosed with PD, I now have psoriatic arthritis, hypertension, retinal vain occlusion, carpal tunnel(had surgeryalready) osteopenia, and most recently, diabetes. I have had major depression, anxiety, and excecutive dysfunction along with tremors,dystonia,etc with the PD. 5 years ago ,I walked 2-3miles/day, was 40lbs lighter,was 52 and took 0 meds. Now I'm on so many meds and look like I'm 72. I continue to have a good attitude and have been working out for 1-2 hours/day. I am also trying to be involved in more activities. I think there is another thread about a similair subject. Excuse my spelling and other errors. We have to keep on keeping on. Cheers, Franny

anxiety disorder
multiple system atrophy... (laughable since i had already had the pd dxd over 15 years)
conversion disorder
gait disturbance
makes me ponder.. how can they search for a cure for something that hasnt even been positively diagnosed?
