I was far too innocent for that! I remember being able to buy a neopolitan icecream in wafers from there though. Not at all related, but proves I have one marble left. In the jamjar I used to put my sticklebacks in.

Ha Ha Tommy
Canā€™t Be Arsed Syndrome.
Those are exactly the words my boss used about me that forced me into telling him that I have Parkinsons.
We all know itā€™s a real thing and it should be recognised as such.
I have to try to break it.
On some days I can, but not on a regular basis.
Regards
Hubby

It should be a recognised medical condition ( C.B.A.S ) eh?

#205

Without a doubt.
Itā€™s whatā€™s stopping us going about our normal business.

HELLO EVERYBODY
Out there in wide awake land
Iā€™d love to join that club but wouldnā€™t be able to stay awake long enough to feel out the membership form
Yawn yawn yawn
This sudden sleep episodes are terrible
Iā€™ve dropped off when friends have been here
And THEN at bedtime I Canā€™t fall asleep tippical not to mention a pain in the arse
So take advantage of me while my eyes are open
Because I canā€™t promise it will be for long lol

#207

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

#208

Sorry I fell asleep.
Got number sorted though itā€™s just the same .:pill::pill::pill::zzz:

#209

You need to check for bed springs or a mislaid hedgehog in your bed if it is a pain in the arsnic, dear itsmylife. When offending item is located, keep it on your chair during daytime instead.
Despite being a mere questionmark in my local neurolgistā€™s closed caseload, I also fall asleep at the drop of a haā€¦

When my blood pressure spikes itā€™s stops me sleeping
When it drops suddenly I drop off
When itā€™s running around normal Iā€™m good
Just need to get it under control

#211

Is the wandering blood pressure part of PD? Mum had PD and blood pressure was up or down so often

#212

Hi Rono
This is the first time we have chatted
First of all HELLO
Im still yet fully diagnosed.
Seeing a neurologist on 25th September
When I do see him/ her I would have been waiting 9 months
All the doctors Iā€™ve seen are of the oppinion that it is Parkinsonā€™s
Some believe my blood pressure is another symptom as you know there are many
I had a cardial vascular event in March 17
(Posh name for heart attack) and a Miny Stroke in November 17
My Doctor believes both these has brought on my PD
Possible ? I donā€™t know Iā€™m no doctor
Hopefully I will have an answer
Till then I will carry on as normal as I can I wonā€™t let this beat me
I hope you are well and in good spirits
This forum helps more than anyone knows
I know Iā€™m not alone
Normally Iā€™m the one whose upbeat and supportive and cheer everyone else up but I have my days
Take care Rono
Keith

To EVERYONE ON HERE
I havenā€™t been myself for a few days and I APOLOGISE IF i have said anything offensive or hurtful
That was never my intention
Where I havenā€™t been sleeping when I should and a sleep when I should be awake and my blood pressure being anything but normal I was not always totally with it and may have passed a remark that was not intended to offend or written down wrong
Iā€™ve sort of got my act together now
Even my son called me an arsehole yesterday and last night ( Early hours of this morning ) I went for a walk to clear the cobwebs out my head and talk to myself without being heard and put in a straight jacket and padded room
So if I have said anything
I APOLOGISE
Keith

Itā€™s strange blood pressure. I have had high blood pressure for thirty years, taking two tablets a day to control it, then when I was DX with PD I was told some of the Parkinson medication may help it by lowering it, and to my surprise it has done just that, I only take one a day now for BP

sheffy

#215

Keith donā€™t be daft.
Youā€™re a good guy and that shines through.
Better to sound off on here where we understand rather than punch the postman :smile:
Sheffy I had ridiculously high blood pressure. Often 200 over 100.
Now I have Parkinsons it barely needs treating.
Strange.

Hi Keith,
I have come to think the more I ā€œknowā€ about PD, the more I realise what a confusing mish mash it is! Such joy a padded cell sounds, Iā€™d like mine in an apricot colour I think.
I am ready for another night of listening to dogs and cats snoring, kindle and puzzles lined up, the radio singing gently to me.
Take care,
Rose / Roro

#217

Hi Rose
When Iā€™ve spoken to other doctors about PD a few were honest enough to say
No one really knows what PD is. Only that it exists and it was named after someone named Parkinson
They know what it effects but donā€™t know why
So I still believe itā€™s a guessing game

#218

My Sister in law called earlier from Glasgow and said everything went to plan and my brotherā€™s ashes are interred with my mum and dad so Iā€™m glad at least he got the wish and well done to his wife for carrying it out.
So it only remains for me to thank everyone who helped me through this from the bottom, middle and top of my heart and you know who you are Iā€™ve no need to name anybody thanks for being there
