Dear, sweet don... I have grown to love you through your postings to the List, and your feelings of fear and anger over feeling worse because of mr pd, as you call this curse that we share, make me sad. We all have good days and bad days and today you and I BOTH are having a bad one and need a little encouragement. Don, your worsening symptoms right now could be caused by your changing meds, to be sure, but I feel a contributing factor is prob- ably your upset over Vivian's very recent health scare, finding her on the floor, and worrying what her stress tests might show. Emotional stress is the biggest culprit, in my opinion, of having all the manifestations of our affliction magnified; but, thankfully, it is usually a temporary state and we will start functioning much better again once the stress is relieved. Yes, we have to fight mr pd, don, but I believe it doesn't do much good to put the boxing gloves on while in a state of anxiety or stress. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Vivian that all will be well with you real soon. Warmest Regards, Janice Long (55/20)
