While I generally don't read journal entries, I did read yours just now. I'm sorry that you're feeling so badly this week and send you this cyber-hug to let you know that I'm thinking about you and hoping that you're feeling better soon. Iris

Rainbow
Sending a rainbow after the rain ! I hope you are enjoying a beautiful Saturday.
It was in the low 40's here this morning. Kind of cool. Crazy thing is we had the air on late afternoon yesterday and then a little heat this morning. That is Texas !!! Thanks for the comment on my journal. I do try to keep up and read journals but sometimes it just doesn't get done. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday and Sunday. I am pretty sure we will be watching all of those ball games. He is really excited. Hugs !!!! -

I don't know about Missouri but Texas is drowning. So much water. Heavy thunderstorms last night. Hard on old people with arthritis. So I am looking for some sunshine. We are going through some tough days right now. I think hubby's PD dementia is getting worse. I try to ignore the symptoms but some times it just is not possible. I understand about knowing you should not do some things but you just "forget" and do them again. haha I hope you feel lots better really soon. xoxo

Close Parkinson's Disease
I have had Parkinsons for 9 years and would like to share experiences with other PD people
Treatments
- Comtan Working / Worked
- Worked well but had to stop taking it because I did not have the money to buy it when I reached the gap in my insurance.
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- Use it some times and works good.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- I try to stay busy doing something all of the time, from morning to late at night, working in and around the house. I do a lot on the computer, but I overdo it and that causes problems. I never could pace myself.
- Requip Working / Worked
- I use it as one of my main medicine, and it works very well.
- Sinemet Working / Worked
- I use it as one of my main medicines. It works great and I could not do without it.
- Symmetrel Working / Worked
- Just started taking it and it is working very well for now.
