Hello: This is my opening message. Age 69, about two years into PD, retired, but doing a heap of work as Exec Dir of The National Assn of Therapeutic Wilderness Camps, Inc. Taking three times a day; Sinemet 25/100, deprenyl, twice a day, plus multi-vits. I have read only a relatively small amount of the articles available, but am connected plenty by the "psychological" entries. Stress seems to be the most difficult area to deal with so far. Relatively mild tremors, some pain while sitting and sleeping but boy, howdy, panic seems to come all too easily. Do some of you feel that your body does the panic, not your mind-reaction to outside factors? I read this and wonder, but it's the best I can do to describe my reaction. The panic also seems to stem from some of my earliest emotional learning experiences, in that I "feel" or "experience" emotions that seem to be from the earlier experience. Replicas, if that makes sense. Also, short term recall troubles but patience helps that. I was very interested in the self-hypnosis notation, I hope whoever ran it will follow through. I would appreciate any comments from those using some form of chemical control of anxiety attacks as I plan to mention this to my neuro next time. (June) On a lighter note, fishing helps, especially for the exercise. I appreciate getting to know those of you who contribute, it's a little like coming in out of the rain.
