Bonnie, Yes, anxiety and stress can worsen symptoms. I have found that under stress I have much more trouble managing symptoms. However, when the stress is relieved and life calms down, I usually return to my "normal" levels of trouble. Although when absolutely necessary I have taken extra meds during times I was sure I would be stressed, I usually paid for it with extra side effects. I am now trying to learn how to handle stress better. Your father will probably be fine after the wedding. I know that there are times when I need my cane, and other times when I do not. Your father is lucky to have you and others to worry about him, and for him. Congrats to your brother. Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
