You are at a bad stretch, it seems, but at least you have come to the right place to connect with "neighbors" who will NOT ignore you, and folks who will understand when you talk about Sinemet, falling, etc. To face retirement at 49 isn't easy--but I hope it will mean a less stressful way of life for you--except for the finances--which may ease symptoms a bit. Write again and tell us more about what you are taking, where you are located--someone may be nearby or may know of a support group in your area... stay connected! And ask your husband if he wants to join the CARE list for caregivers? The notice will be posted again shortly about how to do it! And I hope you can find even a little joy and peace -- Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter 79/8 Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ask me about the CARE list for* * Parkinson's caregivers ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
