Gina TTFN the fact that both you and hilary are aware of these feelings of confusion is a great plus, in my humble opinion all of the feelings and symptoms you describe can be related to pd meds and their interactions with each other and their interactions with other meds the psychological, emotional, and cognitive effects of pd and its meds need to be dealt with in the same objective and compassionate way [i hope!] that our physical symptoms are addressed any emotional stress can exacerbate our pd symptoms and thus contribute to a downward spiral of anxiety gina, it sounds to me like you started feeling a bit worse about things in the past couple of days if so, can you or your husband relate this to any recent change in your meds routine, or your sleeping habits, or your diet, or.... some other change in your day to day life? i'm glad to hear that you will be seeing a new doctor soon a day by day record of meds and activities and feelings could be very helpful for the new doc as well as you maybe it's something you and your husband could tackle together in the days leading up to your appointment? try to remember that those feelings of confusion and not belonging are bound to be med related and indications of adjustments that probably need to be made you are not alone, gina and hilary if there is any place that you belong [along with those you both care about] one is here with me and the rest of our cyber family no matter what 'there, but for grace .." your cyber-sis janet a new voice: http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/index.htm 51/10 - almonte/ontario/canada - [log in to unmask] janet paterson
