A few weeks ago I was sitting mindlessly looking out the window and something occurred to me that I have never given any thought to before. In thinking back to all my Neurologist and Dr. appointments over the last ten years, none of them have ever asked me whats going on in my private life.
I have been given a mind-boggling variety of drugs for depression, anxiety, tremors, stress, high blood pressure etc etc etc....yet none of the doctors I've talked to have said, "and how is your personal life going?" Any connection between why your having trouble and whats going on in your life? Of course the answer is a resounding YES! They just write the prescription out for whatever will deaden the pain thats being caused by life and I go get some of that stuff and dutifully take it. And my PD improves some, or maybe I just become more of a zombie! Has anyone had a doctor who has actually approached your dis-ease with a holistic approach? I'd like to hear about it. We are much more than walking chemistry (on the days we actually walk that is ) I feel like my PD is a product of my life and my perspective on it. Your comments???
