Abe, 1. Agree. 2. Agree. When he went to a Berkley Springs, WV he seemed to do better with the spa like treatment and the naturally occurring warm spring waters. Also, he seems to feel all around better when he can take a walk for exercise. I am a caregiver. My dad has PD - 55/39. We live in the USA. He still works. It's a policy desk job for the US Govt.

Hopefully some of you may be able to help me out as I am seeking information about work related stress and it's affect on people with Parkinson's. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and am very interested in how others have experienced the impact of their work on their symptoms and what help they have had from treatments. I would like to hear your opinion on: 1. Whether you agree that stress makes the symptoms of Parkinson's worse - please respond with one of the following: Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree 2. Have you found any relief from exercise or massage or chiropractic - which one and how would you rate it: Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree If you would like to also give some more feedback or information then that would be appreciated. In your response, please let me know if you are a PWP(Person with Parkinson's), carer or working in the medical field. If you are a PWP, how long ago were you diagnosed and for how long have you been able to keep working and an idea of what type of work you do. Thank you very much for your input, Abe (52/46) PS....Could you please include the name of the country you currently live in...
