I was diagnosed ten years ago. My mistake was and is the same mistake most PwP make. They judge a medicine or lay blame for a reaction to quickly. Often expecting much in a single day. I recommend: “The New Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Book.” J. Eric Ahlskog, PhD, MD, second edition 2015

May I add to your suggestion, which is good, that you also look at doing something that can have a positive effect on the progression of your Pd. Mediation does not do that, exercise does!

I have followed your walking suggestion but now also added intense workout session for 15 minutes five days a week. What a difference. Tremors reduced!

Well Done! Sometimes too much is worse than none at all.

Good you have finally seen the light Roy. Not sure it is most PwP who make this mistake but quite a few posters here do

Thank you, Roy. I am definitely guilty of this. I realize I don't really want to take any more meds so I judge the new whatever I'm trying as not helping as soon as possible. This is something I'm going to be more conscious of and as time goes by and things I am using work less I am more willing to give something new a try.I got the book. Thank you!
