been going to my dr and a internal med specialist they wouldnt listen as ive been like this over a year now its gotten worse

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Hello @myrtannhynes2023,

I see that @loribmt, has already welcomed you to Mayo Connect's PD support group. You posted that, "Ive been like this over a year now it's gotten worse." Could you explain the Parkinson's symptoms that are the most troubling?

Have you been referred for physical therapy? Exercise is one of the more important ways to minimize the disability that can occur with Parkinson's. What type of daily exercise are you doing now?

I look forward to getting to know you as you continue to post on Connect.

Hello @myrtannhynes2023,

You said that you, "got 1st jab got 2nd one 2 months later str\eadly went downhill form there." Is this some kind of injection? I'm not familiar with this type of treatment for Parkinson's.

You mention that you are taking carbidopa/levodopa. How often are you taking this med? Has your doctor suggested any changes in dosage to see if that would help?

When I was first diagnosed with Parkinson's my most difficult symptoms were balance, gait and weakness. What are your most difficult PD symptoms right now?

My husband has Parkinson's disease and we're spent countless nights without sleep. Sometimes, it's so hard to deal with plus all the other issues and complications. I can only tell you that God has been our only strength. Please, be encouraged. I am praying for you just as I always pray for my husband. God bless and strengthen you.
