Dang! what a challenge. I imagine each will complicate the other but both are largely manageable. It will be important for your specialists to fully understanding the contraindications of the medications you must take for each. The number one thing that makes both better and more manageable is physical activity. Start where you are at currently and add a little bit in very small increments . If you live in a major centre, there will be Parkinson's support groups and agencies that help you live your best. These activities will mostly be what will help with SLL.
There are a number of us in this community who have SLL so use your search to find and read about similar experiences. Feel free to message me any time and I can tell you about my journey.
All the best. You're not alone.
