Yeah I can relate to all that. I remember that before I was diagnosed I was moving pretty slow. My kids used to ask me why I was "being so careful" when I was doing anything with my arms or hands, wasn't being careful I was just slow. I couldn't even come close to making my fingers do what I wanted them to. The good news is that medications do help at least for a while and everybodys response is different. If you haven't actually been diagnosed I would bet that they will start you on a trial of sinemet to see your response. For me the response was immediate, within about 40 minutes my tight, stiff, sore body felt like it was melting it was amazing. Again good luck with everything and keep up your positive attitude.
