Hi Babswood,

Yes it’s no joke this pd but you have more problems with your rheuathritis and eye problems.
I also have problems with my eyes closing ,especially my right one.
How long have you been diagnosed for Babs, I think roughly the same time as I have which is 6 years nearly but had it a least 1 year if not 2 years before
We are still on holiday go back tomorrow we have been at Ki gussie for a week
Cheers Anne hope your

Hi Anne I have been diagnosed for b 5 years cannot believe that time goes by too quickly.
My right eye is my worse one. I find it quite embarrising.
I am going to hospital next friday to get my botox around my eyes which makes a difference for a few weeks.
You seem to come to Scotland quite a lot. Do you have family up here.Have a safe journey back home Anne and speak soon.

Hi Babswood,

I find it interesting that ts also your right eye thats worse,my symptoms were definitely worse on my right side.
Must go now shall speak later

Hi Anne - hope you get your meds sorted and get back to some sort of normality. I’ve had PD for about 8 years now. meds are Ropinirole 18mg daily with Sinimet 2 x 3 times a day. Doing ok apart from this persistant cough I have, but still clutching at straws that someone can come up with an answer to sort it

Anyway take care speak soon - Sheila x

Hi Babswood and all the Scots folk.
I live in Glasgow and was diagnosed Nov last year . Can I ask I am working full time after returning from 4 months off due to the diagnosis . I get very tired after work does this get better , I’m 52 .
I haven’t seen my consultant since my diagnosis in November , huge waiting list apparently at the QEUH

Hi Outlander,
Well everyone is different but I think fatigue is one of the worst symptoms .Hopefully you will get an appointment soon,6 months is often the case with neurology app.Have you seen a parkinsons nurse they are usually very good, hope this info is of some help.
Cheers Anne
