I’ve been having a lot of problems with finding a good neurologist . My GP is trying to help me but we’re not having much success. I thought I’d ask the Reddit community. Do any of you have suggestions for a motion specialist? I am willing to travel. Thank you.
Hi All, today I was standing near an outdoor grill, my arm twitched/tremored and I got burned. I didn’t expect it.
I was wondering what other dangers lurk that I should avoid? Suggestions?
Hi All, there are a couple in person meetings in my area but they’ve thinned out during the summer. I know the fellowship has helped me in the past. Unfortunately, right as I’m going through a lot in my life and could use support, no one is around. So, I lost my abstinence this past weekend. This is after 20 years. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to DM with me? I need OA fellowship. Thank you
What is the hardest thing you’ve had to let go of because of Parkinson’s and how have you handled it? Suggestions?
I have tried many things to get up and stay up in the morning. But sometimes I’m just so exhausted I need to sleep around 12 hours.
When I have an early appointment, I can force myself. But I really want to sleep less — more like a normal person.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hey guys, this refers specifically to phone calls. Not texts. Texts are hard but I find phone calls actually more helpful. Phone calls are also much much much more challenging for me to do.
So, when you’re in a depressive episode, how do you get yourself to make a phone call? Or answer a call from someone who wants to help?
During a depressive episode, how do you get yourself to shower?
It’s been almost 7 days and I can’t get myself to shower or bath. In the past, I’ve gotten myself to take a bath using crayons but that’s not working anymore. Can you help me?
I’m also struggling getting out of bed, but the shower thing is much worse. Please help
How can I tell if I’m having a mood event? I have Parkinson’s and my psychiatrist is trying to slowly ween me from seroquel because it interferes with my Parkinson’s medicine. She always warns me to be on the lookout for a mood event.
So, the seroquel was reduced three weeks ago. Yesterday I think I was talking a lot (and fast), and tonight I seem to have insomnia. What do you think? Just normal stuff? Or is this a mood event?
I’d contact my psychiatrist but 1) she’s having surgery and I don’t want to bother her and 2) of course I DO NOT want this to be a mood event because I really really really want to get off of seroquel
