Guess what I hate most about having PD today? That's right, the never knowing when I will be on and when I will be off. I recently went off the Requip because the doctors (and I) think I had a bad reaction. Now I am reduced to Sinemet CR, but with my sensitivity to it, I must restrict it to as needed. I went to the store alone today (something I nearly never do any more) and thought, I will be slow, but ok. I finished and was walking across the parking lot. Then my steps slowed down and I realized in a panic that I was about to freeze up. I swung my arm and started counting and literally willed myself to get to my car. As soon as I sat down I began to cry. I hate to be so helpless. Ok, I will stop crying and get out of this pity party. But I am glad you all are there and can understand how I feel.
