I hear you! Though hopefully not [quite] to my twilight years, being a decade younger than you. But many days I look at that lineup of nebs, meds, inhalers, Aerobika and pills, and the list of exercise and stretches I must do just to keep moving, and wonder "What if I just chuck it all and see what happens?"
Then my grands show up, wanting to play (today is our Halloween) or a friend calls and we plan a lunch date...
The 7% sodium wasn't my biggest problem - it was the albuterol. My pulmo switched me to 2 puffs on an inhaler, wait 15 minutes then neb the saline. It was much easier on my body the the nebulized version, which sent my essential tremor off the charts.
Maybe that can work for you?
Sue

Essential Tremor also. My neurologist who I see every 6 months always asks me, has any one in my family had Parkinson's, no. Primidone 2 tabs at bedtime.
I don't have grands, but my wife of 53 yrs. is a decade younger, a foreign national with a US permanent residency. I promised I would do everything possible to live as long as I could.
There would have to be a reason to not just give up.
