Dear Agnes, So sorry to hear what you are going through, I know that each of us has been there. This is still so new to you, only six months when I went through it I just called it mourning, the lost of my old self, and knowing where I might be headed. I now am very content with my new self, this is a new life and new chalangs. I feel what you are going through might pass in time, like it did for me. But I must say that if it does not you need to find help to get you through to more stable ground. I knew that there was something wrong with me and it took some time lets say a few years, before they the doctors said PD. I first felt much relief for now there was a name for what had a hold on me. Then I educated myself then, I became over come with grief, I cried like I had not in years. Then for me I just gave it to God, for that is where I am at. ( I am not preaching or saying this is what everyone needs to do). For he is the only one that can take something this bad and make good out of it. I started to run and do yoga, I was and am still fighting this with every fiber in my soul. I will not give it a foot hold to take me down. There was a poem someone wrote that said PD does not like it when you are happy, so laugh in its face and keep going. This is not to say you will never have a bad day for you will. I will allow myself and day of pity only, when I feel it take me I drown it out with up lifting music as loud as I can stand it. Do take care and know that we all are here for you. We all have the same disease but all take different paths, that work for us.
