Hello and welcome back. Sounds like you have been on a difficult path, but you are hopefully now on an easier one.

Hello stobbsi
Sorry to here about what you have been through, and welcome back to the forum, at least it is a step in the right direction in that you are wanting to communicate with others. I have found this site to be very theraputic in that the folks who use this site are all in the same position as each other, some more than others and it helps to talk. Have a go on the Social side of the site joining in the games and quizzes (if you are that way inclined!) and keep posting about anything you wish to talk about if it helps
Regards Sheffy
Thanku sheffy

Hi stobbs welcome .
I'm not the best person to advise because I'm quite new to all of this - sep . I know pain is a symptom though and it is my main one . I have been given cocodamol and told I can take ibuprofen . I find the pain worse until my tablets start kicking in . I take them in the morning about 7am . Like you my walking not so good first thing and my speech is a bit slurred at end of day when I suppose tabs wearing off .Do you have a PD nurse ? When are you next seeing neuro ? Where is the pain ? Mine is right side ( affected side ) I am waiting for shoulder scan too something I should've had done but didn't as orthopaedics sent me straight to neurology for brain scan . I am worried I've done some damage to this arm as it had been weak for so long and really hurts .
Perhaps you are under medicated ? Pain has improved in head leg for me but not arm .
Ive read the tremor is the most difficult thing to control . I hope you get to speak to someone soon who can help
