Gloria, I am 50 and all the feelings of fear and frustration are a bit overwhelming. I don't want to talk to family and friends - because then I end up taking care of their sadness or guilt because they want to fix it and can't. It seems like I don't have enough "on" time to want to spend it going to a counselor - or enough money. I was diagnosed at 42 but didn't take any meds until 48 y/o. Now sometimes I take a sinemet and it doesn't work at all - or it works in a half hour, or it works 2 hours later. So I can't plan to be able to go anywhere - heck getting dressed feels "too big" some mornings. Don't get me wrong - I know I have to keep going. I walk every morning with my husband and can do it w/o a pill because he sets a pace and my legs will follow. Then I come home and do yoga with the TV while helping my 14 y/o get ready for school. Then I do computer catch up with one business - run to the PO & errands - make jewelry for another business - pick up daughter after school or go to her Volleyball games. I have a wonderful life, but the fear makes me feel crazy sometimes when I can't move or get up & down from the bathroom. My name is Robyn and I want someone to talk with who I won't scare with my feelings and who can understand. Is it you? I have lots of questions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Renee Morgan" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 2:50 PM Subject: had it 23 yrs > Hello, Everyone, > .
