Do you experience apathy, anxiety, depression or fluctuating moods
Parkinson's can be so difficult to read .
Sometimes its like having Winston Churchill's 'Black Dog' as a companion and I feel for my wife having to live with it
I believe Pd, wears you down, also the meds, don't help. I have seen the results of Pd, over 13 years, my Pd friends, their carers, their loved ones, it just keeps wearing away. The best thing is to fight it with every breath you take, don't give in, at times you feel like giving in. One breath at a time and you win.
I voted "rarely" for two reasons. First, I was diagnosed late in life and had completed most of my modest
goals, a good marriage, nice family, the opportunity to retire, after 50 years, from a job I loved. I am content.
Second, I got my PD, in trade, for a serious heart condition. That would take too long to explain unless someone else has had a similar experience.

Add anti social and intolerant to the above
I agree Brideelena! People can be so cruel. After being dx, i still let i bother me, and that brings out my symptoms even. more. And i was dx.2001. But i can remember my symptoms back 2 1965, which puts me @ 8yrs. old!! I hate having this disease!!!
All THe time
Some of th e time as I have taken abnyi deps NSF anti. Anxiety meds for years way b4. I had any pd orvpsp probs
Lol jill
Anxiety at times. Apprehensive about the future.
Some depression and have a box of pills to help if I need it......boredom is the problem though.
Anxiety and stress bring on my symptoms. I was never one to not be busy all of the time so that limitation is frustrating I worry about who will care for me as my PG worsens..
FRUSTRATION! is by far my worst side effect
My gran has parkinsons and she has quite severe anxiety and depression at times. Difficult to reassure her but we dont want to medicate her on top of her angina and parkinsons meds.
Try any hobby, it will take you down another path you don't have to be an expert, I get quite anxious painting and drawing have been my release, its not cure but helps.
