Thanks for your response. I have done the Loud program which here it has a different name and I am drawnig a blank on the name of it. Initially I was walking every day for at least 2 miles and that seem to help a lot. Shd a few pounds. I change my diet to a plant-based-mediterranean diet. I must say that I fallen off the wagon since then! I am now eating meat. I think everyone needs a little meat in their life! It’s the protein you know? 😉 I’m trying to get back into walking at least 3 times per week. I’m doing yoga. I am seeing a neuropsychologist which helps with my depression. I am on Sinemet three times a day.

This all sounds good, @cartercd. Dealing with the voice problems and exercising are all important. I admire your inclusion of a neuropsychologist to help with depression. Brain disorders do tend to leave us feeling depressed and to address that aspect of PD is important.

In addition to the movement exercises suggested by LSVT Big, there is a YouTube channel from the Michigan Parkinson's Foundation with lots of exercise videos,
