Hi Skyways,I also have a bad habit of leaving the Caps on,Welcome to the Site,Most important thing is to have a positive Mind.I have it since 45 years old,But I had small signs before that,I am now 55 years old and taking moment to the fullest and refusing to have Parkinsons take over.I do have a great responce to sinement copa/levodopa,I do have to take them every two hours,11 years ago it was every 5 hours,So I have to say yes I have been lucky,My Kids were very young 8&10 years old, when I first Dx it made them very caring and aware of people wih illnesses and the challenges that have to be faced in life,They are great young adult's now and learned never to give up,My son call's me his super Hero.Sometimes many people don't understand my Disease Parkinsons and others are so interested and leaning from me, even the Doctor's are learning from us about this Disease,My Movement Disorder Doctor tells me all the time,I learning from you about some of the aspect's of this disease,We all have different symptoms when it comes to parkinsons.Welcome to the site.

I go to the Parkinson's Institute in Sunnyvale CA and my doctor asked me to speak to a roomful of pharmacy reps about Azilect which is the only rx I take for Parkinson's. They were very interested as they usually talk to drs only and not patients.

I was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago although I saw symptoms many years ago. I'm 72.

Personally I dont give a Monkeys Uncle if you write in Chinese. After all, we can get it interpreted now on many websites for free.

If you feel comfortable with Capitals use them, they dont cause me any distress .

Sometimes, the only way to be heard nowadays it to shout Lol. (laugh out loud)

I wish you all the best in life.

Greetings skyways

Welcome to this site. People in this forum will forgive you for using uppercase but beware on some other sites people are likely to be really quite grumpy about it.

Anyway what a great way to earn a living, being a cabinet maker. I like to play around with bits of wood in an amateur kind of way. Of all the things I did at school the best thing and pretty much the only thing that was really useful after school was woodwork.

Best wishes

Pete

Thanks a lot Pete,I really apreciate getting a reply,I have a small woodworking shed out back,to keep me occupied,but recently I seem to be taking more chances with power tools,recently I broke my finger drilling out a hole in a piece of metal not taking time rushing jobs,taking chances,I wonder if it is the pills ,mirapixen,ldopa.Anyway thanks.

Hi skyways,

I take those drugs too. I've not heard of them making people impatient or or more careless..

I imagine it is your semi-sub-conscious refusal to admit that alterations to the way you work are now required. I know I certainly go about life feeling stubborn about any need to adjust. I should be much more sensible finding alternative ways of doing things while maintaining safety. But no not until circumstances demand am I likely to do this.

I hope you are more flexible in your approach than me.

What part of the world do you live in ?

Cheers.

Pete
