Hello,
I am a newbie to parkinson. Probably have had it for a few years. This past year my symptoms have been more prononced.Sometimes i just barely get moving after siting awhile.Did see a nerologist and was dx for parkinson.

All my life Ive been a nervous person who had setbacks and had long duration nervous symptoms.Some call it depression or anxiety or other names.
Seventeen years ago I found a self help group that has helped me overcome most of my symptoms.The focus of the group's method is to identify the working up process and learn how to avoid it.The most important thing is now I give no importance to any disturbance ,parkinson or nervous and it always goes away if I move my muscles and change my thoughts.I use the tool distressing but not dangerous.

My father had parkinson and died from a choking spell. He never talked about his parkinson.I guess he knew intuitively that to talk about it was to work it up.He got up every day and walked step by step till he lossened up.

Hope you all have a prosperous New Year
