Hi,
Just wanted to know how you’re doing? You mentioned that your legs feel heavy, I to have experienced that. I have a lot of fatigue. I try to stand still which makes my lower back and hips hurt most of the time. I still haven’t given in to using a walker with a seat attached. But there are times I wish I had one for sure. I’m taking Mirapex the lowest dose 3 times a day. It has helped. I’m able to stand longer and my shakes are better. But of course it doesn’t last, but it does help. I’m just so sad that I can’t do the things I want to do. I’m sick of sitting all the time. I wish more doctors would realize we need help! Thanks for letting me vent once again. I hope you’re having a good day!

When my legs started to have problems my husband and I called it a stump day. I was falling frequently. I saw several doctors and eventually was given AFO braces for my legs. There were other symptoms and my biggest help was an excellent physical therapist who worked with me for several years.
