Am 47, diagnosed 4 years ago. Briefly joined forum earlier this year but missed the meet and greet. When first diagnosed I thought that some PD people got a bit precious about when they took tablets, food they ate etc. I decided my life was not going to revolve around all that. I seem to remember saying the same thing about having kids but then reality happens. This year I have had to get on the 4 hourly treadmill. ( Having an empty stomach before taking the Stelevo, waiting to eat again, not eating dairy products within 2 hours of it, cautious with the protein) Then there is the timing of tablets so that I can do the things such as important meetings. I have found that this all makes a huge difference.
Trouble is for how long.
Hello Nylex
Glad you are back on the forum, there is a lot of friendship and support here.
I am still able to be more casual with meds, mine are slow release and I am hoping I can stick with them.
