Hi I have had pd for 8years now im 46 years and my symptoms are getting unbearable . find it impossible to concentrate from about 1pm. making driving very hard. my arms go really tense making the muscle ion them really sore I also clench my fists so tight it hurts my wrists i seem to be pulling some really strange faces. THe meds I take from 1230 onwards don’t seem to be working at all. im really struggling to keep positive and feel I should really think about packing up driving but the I wont be able to work.

Maybe u need to review your meds or poss try a counsellor/therapist and work out what u can do.
if your work manager/coworkers are understanding maybe you could move
to a 4 day week …
Its just it sounds like you are at atough time and something has to give . I don’t think u canbrass out PD… like we used to .
