I suffer from each of those symptoms but have not been medicated to alleviate any of them with the pain and stiffness being the worse. I suppose that for now the saving grace is that they are intermittent lasting 7-9 days at a time. At least for now I can usually count on a little relief.

Hello @gary1316

I am sorry to hear of your symptoms. I agree that stiffness is the worst. About your symptoms, you say that you "have not been medicated to alleviate any of them..." I'm just wondering if PD medications were suggested for you, or if you prefer not to take them for some reason?

There are physical therapists that specialize in Parkinson's. Has physical therapy been offered to you?

Exercise is a great way to help Parkinson's patients. Do you have an exercise routine in place?
