Living with Parkinson's Disease - Meet others & come say hi

I was diagnosed 6 months ago, neurologist felt progress would be slow. In the past 4 months, both my sisters have died and we had to put down our sweet dog. I feel all of this emotional trauma has exacerbated my symptoms. Has anyone else had experience with this?

I am so sorry for your losses! Losing two family members and a sweet dog is very difficult. Do you have other friends or family members who are available to support you during this time? It seems that emotional turmoil does affect us physically, so perhaps that is contributing to your symptoms.

Have you been able to start a physical therapy program yet? Exercise provides great benefits for Parkinson's. Combining exercise with PD meds is a great combination.
