Hi @hopeful33250 , yes I plan to continue to be active in this group. Hopefully for years!! I've been doing a lot of reading and thinking about my situation, and I'm a big plan-ahead person. I've got more questions than my doctor can answer in his limited time, so I've resorted to posing my questions to AI, Microsoft's "Co-Pilot" which I have on both my laptop and phone. I think I spent an hour on it just this morning.
I also see, on occasion, a behavior therapist at my local health clinic. I have an appointment with him tomorrow and I plan to ask him if he treats PD patients.
Finally I joined a local support group- we'll see how effective and helpful they might be, as so far, I haven't heard back.

A local in-person support group would be a great addition to your other treatment options, @wagross. Prior to the pandemic, I was also part of an in-person support group where they had guest speakers from a local medical university hospital as well as social workers, physical therapists, etc.

You might consider looking at the videos and book called, Delay the Disease, produced by a physical therapist in Ohio. Here is a link to his work,
