Hi @marilynjoan and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect's discussion group on PD. I'm wondering how long you have had PD? What is the most difficult symptom you are dealing with now? You mentioned that Rasagiline was not helpful to you? Have you tried other meds?

I do agree with you about exercise. It really helps keep disability from becoming severe.

Are there any types of exercise that you've found more helpful than others?
