Sue, I sympathize with your problems, but I know that is not much help. Can you get some disability from the government? Is your husband working? Can your daughter help you financially? I know this will sound terrible, but sometimes having a low income can be helpful, by making more government benefits available. Also, you say you don't want surgery, but if you are a candidate for surgery that can help with the PD, maybe you should consider it. I am not an authority on any of this, but hope to be helpful. Good luck in whatever you do. [log in to unmask]
