Hi Alivo, I\'m from the mid north coast of NSW. You certainly are motivating me. I am a newy with PD, only diagnosed last December, although I suspect I have had it for much longer. I have gone through several emotions, I guess similar to grieving. Depression has been bad up until recently when I decided that I would ignore this condition that has invaded me uninvited. Since then my depression seems to have improved. Not much but improved non the less. I figure that if I don\'t think about it too much then it won\'t bother me too much. Like you I will fight this all the way and never let it get the batter of me.
I thank you for your comments and I send you greetings from Perth .
Re depression, be aware that depression is symptom of this confounded condition we call Parkinson's Condition
As dopamine is responsible for movement, it is also responsible for motivation which covers depression. This depression is treatable.
I have to say, that if I ignored this symptom in the hope that it would just go away, then it would most certainly be foolhardy on my behalf to do so.
I manage and deal with Parkinsons with a totally positive attitude yet I am brutally honest with myself.
Indeed going from past experience, ignoring depression is courting disaster. Why do I say this, been there, seen it and, done it.
MAY YOU DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN A WINING POSITION.
Go well STEWART/ ALIVEO
