hope your weekend is good.
vicky
Must admit Vicky I like tess Gerritson and good stories with a bit of murder mystery but a story too. Karin slaughter too. If it's a good story I can read for ages. How about you Vicky?
Hello Ed,, you dont mind me calling you ED, do you, its just I get exhausted typing longish words like Edinburgh,, You can call me FED ED, NUFF SAID now where was I ? oh yes Edinburgh Man,, anxiety and fear of the unknown go in the front line of PDs shock troops and the bas???ds take no prisoners, I can be right as rain ,,why is there no wrong as rain,, singing away happy as larry,,, though not as happy as my cuz Larry Hanraty,, who was jailed last week in Dubai for riding his bike without lights, 12yr he got, he is appealing,, mind you so is his missus and she seems happy, " (I TOLD HIM TO make sure the batteries wer ok but he never listens ) it can hit anytime anywhere like a cruise missile with migraine,, I stop it by listening to Tomas Newman, ( road to peridition theme,,Ghosts, By another name, works for me
FED
I like murder too and do read for hours
It is a great way to distract the thoughts
I also like authors Graham Green
George Orwell, Ann Cleeves,
Also Frost Morse Wallander
And lots more
At the moment I am reading The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
I hope you are OK
Do you work at all?
Best wishes

Hi Vicky, I work part time but am off at the moment while I have some radiotherapy treatment. I've had plenty of time to read lately!! It's nice having the break at the weekend from the trips to hospital. Gets a bit tireing.
How do you get on with your Parkinsons Vicky? I was only diagnosed Nov 15. Just on small dose of madopar three times a day.
i hope you have a good day tomorrow.

Hi Sue
Really sorry not to reply sooner. Only just there picked up your post. I haven't been on site for awhile.
I was diagnosed in May this.year.
I had to give up work as travelling into London was too much. I was also on a contract so got no help or money.
I do some voluntary work one day a week where I get a lift and also some home voluntary work on computer.
It was good to get your message.
Best wishes
Vicky
Now these two smileys or smilies depending on your religion, I have no relligous beliefs so I am
,,,,,Now where were eye,, sorry a bit silly there, anxiety is often fired up by fear of the unknown and is a horrible horrible often disabling , in my case it often prevents me stepping outside the door often for a week or more and thats despite defeating it soundly every time, if I feel its going to be a problem I immediately log on to the Forum and post a few, this usually works or I will do something with my wife ,,,no not that,,,,, Trivial Pawsuits ,,, or Squabble ,, no thats not mispelt we often like a squabble it clears the air, cant understand why there is so much smoke in the house ,,all the wiring was checked in 1912,,??? cant understand it ED,, you dont mind me calling you ED do you, FED to ED GOOD EH also the TV keeps exploding and of course its always when summit interesting is ont tellie,,, sods law the CUP FINAL, OR the culmination of a police detective story when the villain is about to be brought to justice ,,BANG and shards of plastic fly through the air im a bit fed up or FEDUP now the drugs you take to reduce the parky can cause anxiety also so double check with your consultant as there may be something to lessen the effects of BLACKHEART, BUT whichever route you take you can better it ED believe me as time passes you will develop your own teck neek,, sorry cant spell technique , and the anxioushusnessiveness wlll begonwithit, good luck you can do it mate.
FROM FED TO ED best for NEW YEAR also
Hi Fed
I read your post and maybe can identify.When I get little low on levadopa anxiety sometimes kicks in slightly,its worse when I wake up if I obsess during the day.I found the trick is not get overly involved in dread I cant control,politics etc.
I do my duty more than enough now but keep it objectiveand focus on peace.You mentioned fear of going out,It.s a common fear many have so I do things I hate to do and when the unfounded feelings come I say it's old PD (harmless imbalance),distressing but no danger.and move my muscles.having myoclonus which is a form of dyskinsia hasnt stopped me.Sure it's strange to others but sometimes react out of fear also.I remind myself all to often to keep a balance for my own mental health so I can live better with old PD
Best

I hope you spot this message, radiotherapy ? you ok ? its tough enough with pd to deal with let alone anything else. wishing you well x
Hi TeeHee, thank you for your message. Yes I had an op and then radiotherapy for breast cancer but hopefully that will be the end of it apart from meds for five years. These mammograms are so essential and without it I wouldn't have got treated. Thankful for that. Appreciate you asking. just glad it's another hurdle over!!
