I appreciate reading your update, @laurievr. It is good to hear that the Sinemet is working to help reduce the PD symptoms. Your comment, "I also feel very tired and weak if I overdo." is quite common with PD. Stress and fatigue can certainly cause the PD symptoms to worsen.

Exercise is an important adjunct to the PD medication.
You do not mention any physical therapy or any exercise program. Have you been involved in any exercise program?

I take our dog for a walk most days, although it is a little slow going because she is 10. I used to walk by myself for at least 2 miles, but I have not been able to do that for 3 years because of my legs stiffening up. But it I walk by myself now I can only walk about half a mile.
