Marsha, if you need someone to talk to, we're here for you. PD is a lonely road, even if you're fortunate enough to be surrounded by loving people. One adjustment you may have to make is to allow yourself to be cared for, after your life of service to your kids and your father. Here's another case where the PD has run in successive generations in the same family. In my case, my mom has a pretty stiff case of essential tremor, and my son has Tourette's. I'm sorry I don't know what fibromyalgia is. Anyway, welcome. You'll find lots of information and support from this great bunch of people. And just know that you have someone to 'talk' to. Enjoy the holidays!
