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.

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!
