Hello @larias1955, and welcome to the PD support group on Mayo Connect. From your post, it sounds like PD is a recent diagnosis for you. Is my understanding correct?

You ask how to deal with anxiety related to PD. The best way to relieve anxiety is to be as proactive as possible. My suggestion would be to have an evaluation by a movement disorder specialist who can suggest medications to control the most troubling symptoms. There is also specific physical therapy that can reduce PD symptoms.

I look forward to hearing from you again. Please share what you have done so far to treat your PD symptoms.

I think the person who has Parkinsons goes through so much and everything is stressful and can be overwhelming. The ones who love and care for them also feel their stress and their own . Day in and day out...what is going to happen today? Will he fall? Will he sucumb to his disease process. I have cried and we have laughed. But life is not easy right now. Some days feel like he has gotten closer to the end. Then those days seem normal, like it used to. Please know that I only know what I research and what our Physicians say. No one is promised another day or less. Life is worth having and it can change to the better or worse. Live each day to its fullest. If you need help, than get the help. No one can tell you how to live. Don't let an illness define you. God bless you and 🫂💕
