Boy, stress is a killer when you have PD.

Now that I'm separated I am learning
how to live alone again. Feels very weird.

[F]Hi
Yes i totally agree i have had a very stressful three months, family problems. Usually my meds keep my tremor at bay but when i feel stressed my left arm starts to shake, have had to up my meds slightly, after talking to my pd nurse. The other thing is my sleep patterns change as well don't sleep too well as it is but now i am lucky if i get a couple of hours a night. Will my pd go back to how it was before the problems, once my stress levels drop?.[/FONT]

I think it will.........

I'm sorry, Mary Frances, that you are going through this, and hope it can turn into some kind of liberating open window that lets you do something you never imagined possible before...you never know what one thing ending is actually preparing you for. You are obviously gorgeous, a delightful person, and heartfelt...someone would be lucky somewhere down the line, if that's what you want!!

One day at a time.

when you finally stop the process of stressing -or the whatever you fear can stop - like for divorce it would be - court and lawyers, stay away from them
as much as possible...
and find calm or sit outside or walk in the grass barefoot, or sit by the ocean and look and listen to the waves,
it will heal the stress - just try to stay peacefully happy, and read and watch and listen to TV -music / books - whatever you think on you will experience more of - think on beautiful things... whatever or whomever they may be...
you will be just fine...


ps - you see we are electric beings all of our diet and minerals - everything can be great when the neural firing - does what we expect, think on this...
do not eat too much red meat -if you eat meat - fish or poultry organic
will help yoour meds and do not take meds w/ grapefruit juice...

Sorry for your troubles. I went through the same thing approx 8 years ago. I had to leave my then-wife AND MY 2 YEAR OLD SON!!! Talk about ripping your heart out. And on top of that...PD.
However, I am writing to tell you there IS life after divorce. You WILL come out the other end. You WILL be happy again...in time.
In the meantime, I always felt some comfort from an old Chinese proverb:

Better alone than poorly accompanied.

I hope this helps just a little bit.

Mary,

It sounds like you've been a little stressed, stress is always more difficult when it aggravates are day to day cylces, especially our sleep cycle. I'm curious, how do you usually deal with stress? Where do you go? What do you like to do? Who do you like to spend time with?

Sorry, Mary Frances, I am late to wish you a happy birthday, and I hope you and the girls tied one on. And that the light of dawn is showing up somewhere in the distance...

But as of last night, I, too joined the statistic and left my husband of 29 years, and I will say it's totally PD-related reasons.

I am very grateful and lucky tho to have a boyfriend who wants to marry me and seems to love and thrive on taking care of me. But breaking up with the man I've spent most of my life with is enormously painful. I just couldn't stand to see him use me as a reason not to move forward in his own life and be so resentful about it. I don't think it has to be that way, but somehow that's where our dynamic went. Even to the point where he was saying "Now you're getting better, but I'm just falling behind in my own life..." But I realized he will never feel free, and always think of me as a reason for his own failure unless I really do show him he doesn't have to worry about me.

It's very hard and sad. The things that happen are so complicated. I'm a little overwhelmed right now.

God bless all you wonderful people on this board. And Mary Frances, please continue your birthday celebration - I am sending a big virtual Mango Mohito just for you. Or whatevah. Lotsa love...
