Hi I’m Leslie,
I’ve had Parkinson’s for about 2 years. Not a severe case, mostly off balance issues and slowness issues. These have been very frustrating for me. I take carbidopa levadopa 3 times a day for it. Not dealing with the issues very well.
Thanks, Leslie

Leslie, welcome!

I am dealing with the same although I have fallen several times, but the physical therapist and my neurologist has told me both to slow down because I do walk fast so I don’t know what your pace of walk of walking is, but perhaps you might want to slow down, I don’t know what else to tell you sometimes if I’m really
tired and I’m walking, I can feel my left foot dragging and I seem to be weak on my left side
in terms, of the slowness I can’t help you there either some days. I’m good some days. I’m not so good.. I have had Parkinson’s since June 2022, so I am similar to you in terms of the longevity of having this.

I’m exactly like you! It’s depressing. I take two tablets three times a day. I am 79 years old.
