Hi thanks for taking time to read about me and PD.
I am taking carbilevadopa and is helps with my left hand tremors.
I had no idea that i had PD. I go to a nerurologist fir Restless Legs and neuropathy in my feet. I take Ropinitrole for those problems.
Last year i woke up with my left leg numb and left hand was paralized. I called my docor and he thought i was hsving a stroke and told me to go immediately to hospital. I was given all kinds of test and after 3 days was told it was a nerve in my neck.
Going for my appointment for my legs doctor said no it was a stroke. I went for hand theraphy. My hand works now but much slower. And i have a limp.
I use a cane fot stability and if i take walks i use my walker.
I have not had a problem with falling but can no longer walk my dog. This i really miss as he a wonderful Border Collie mix.
Oh and i started having urinary problems wich i just blamed on old age. My primary doctor gave me a pill to help. Now i have read that more than likely it is csused by PD I use pads and remind myself to go to the bathroom about every hour. I'm sure thinking back i have had PD for sometime. I can't believe all the tests i have gone thru.
I also started going to a counselor to relieve some stress.
Hope all is good with you.
Regards a fellow PD
