A Bit of a Rough Patch

So far, not so good.  I have been having some pretty rough "off" times, although the side effects from the Requip have abated a bit.  I think I need to give it another couple of weeks to let the system settle out before deciding whether to declare victory or give it up, though.  It's a pretty stressful time for me, and as we all know, stress can magnify symptoms enormously.

The good news is that I'll be on vacation soon; next Saturday we're off to Lake Tahoe for a week.  My brother Drew and his wife Debra will be there, as well as a large contingent of my husband's family.  Fun!

In the meanwhile, though, I have an impossible deadline looming over me.  Some people say they work better under pressure.  I wish I could say that...

Have you heard about the Fox Trial Finder? It's a new tool to match pwp with clinical trials.

About Me

I'm a lucky lady. I have a wonderful husband of 27 years, a fantastic 25 year old son (I'm so proud of him!) a loving and supportive family, the best friends in the world, a job that I love, and... Parkinson's Disease. I was diagnosed in September 2006. That was a jolt, but I'm learning to deal with it.
