Thank you for being so supportive! I am further along in my progression, of this aggravating ailment! My rolling pill tremor has gotten somewhat worse, and it does, indeed, get worse, when I’m under stress! I drop things, losing my grip, or tremor acting up, more than I used to. Carb/Levodopa had been helping me keep my gait relatively normal, for a number of years, but, lately, this year, the Parkinson’s shuffle has taken over, and, alarmingly, I lost control of speeding up my walk, and couldn’t control the slow shuffling well, being hunched over! My neurologist sent me to physical therapy, where I practically had to learn to walk again, along with balance exercises! Therapy got me back on track, where I got better, but I have to keep up the exercises, which are on YouTube, under the Parkinson’s Association sponsorship! I had regained my ability to control my walking, with exercise, but the slowness still seems to want to creep in, because of disease progression!!

I agree! It seems we are throw away individuals! Makes you feel like you don't matter because you are geriatric and have health needs. I feel for everyone on this site. We deserve respect and care from physicians and ancillary staff. Not the opposite! My rant is finished!
