Haven't talked to a neurologist yet. Had physical therapy for shoulder pain which also addresses posture and am continuing with it at home. I am beginning to develop an at home regimen of exercises that I hope to perform a couple of hours at least 3 times per week and daily if I can discipline my self with an effective schedule. Currently I am working part time performing repair tasks that require moderate degree of different body positions, bending, stretching, and hand dexterity. Noticing an increase in left hand tremors that had been only in right hand. No meds used. This job will become one involving some building rehab and construction functions. Boss and I both have some restrictions but there are younger stronger workers also. Hope to do this as long as I can be productive. I have read parkinson progresses at different rates in different people, making expectations and planning difficult going forward so one day at a time.
