Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement, and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement.

The hardest part (so far) of this disease for me is this good day bad day roller coaster ride...I'll have 2 good days in a row and get secure then bam... bumbly stumbly crampy moody... then back to a good day or two not knowing what triggers the bad or when it will raise it's ugly head again... i know i'm not making any revelations here and i know a lot of you experience the same...i'm just venting .. thanks for listening :)

I know what you mean Paula----that is how I am doing also. Yesterday was terrible and I wanted to cry about everything. So then last night I did not sleep much either and today I am a mess. My eyes are so dry and blurry, have read dry eyes are a part of PD. (guess I cried all my tears out yesterday) Well things can only get better and guess I have to keep looking for what is good in life. Hope you will feel better soon and things will stabilize. ((hugs)) to you !

I know exactly how you feel. I was diagnosed on 7/7/10. I am still in denial. Every time something works that didn't work I think maybe I don't have PD. Usually my left arm feels like a 5 lb weight when I move it when I walk - then it stopped and started feeling normal. I said to myself - see you don't have it. But then something else is not working. I did a search on line for "does PD symptoms come and go." I saw a lot of blurbs saying that it does. So I have just been grateful when a symptom goes away for awhile. And try not to get my hopes up too much.

It is a roller coaster ride and unfortunatly there is no getting off. One more reason for being here at daily strength where we have each other and understand how difficult things can be sometimes. And Paula, remember, venting is a good thing. Keeps the stress from building up.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
