My name is Sharon and I'm 74 years old. I've just been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. It started with a mild hand tremor and focusing my eyes. Now every time I tell someone they give me a horror story about someone they know that I've Parkinson's disease. It's getting very depressing. I have been exercising for almost a year religiously... Therefore it's not something new I need to start....
I'm having sleep problems already. I never slept good to begin with and now it's even worse. I fall asleep but have a problem staying asleep. I guess the good thing is I'm not extremely tired during the day even though my sleeping is bad. I guess I'm wondering how other people are dealing with diagnosis Parkinson's disease. I am also fearful for I have no one to take care of me when the condition worsens. Any insights us to actions to take would be appreciated.
Thank you
