re you tired because you don't get enough sleep or are you tired because fatique is a part of having PD? I hope you are getting more rest. I haven't had that problem yet but am tired all the time. My first year of my diagnosis will be in March and I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Right now I'm just contending with a slight tremor when I'm under stress, an unsteady walk, difficulty turning in bed and getting up from chairs, but none of this freezing or uncontrollable movements. I guess that comes later and whenever it feels like it. I was 59 in August and am still working so we may be on the same time line. Have you shared your illness with your work? I have not and am confused as to whether I should. Will they find an excuse to let me go? Will I quit and wish I hadn't even though it's harder and harder to get up and go? Am I better off keeping busy even though every thing is done soooo slowly? Am I tired because of doing too much or would I be tired anyway? I would appreciate any comments or thoughts on this. Thanks, Patricia
