Hello everyone!
I just needed to vent this morning! I was diagnosed with PD a little over 1-year ago. For the past 10 or so months I have been very encouraged as my medications have kept my symptoms to barely noticeable. But as the stress in my life has increased as of the last few months my symptoms are starting to flare up and show their ugly head again. I am bummed out because I do not want to have to increase my medications. I am also upset because I had convinced myself that this condition was going to be slow progressing for me and that it was not going to be a major problem for me to deal with.
I kinda feel like I am back to day-one diagnosis and like I have to go through all the mental stages to get back to acceptance again.
I don't really have a question for anyone, just needed to have my one minute pity-party, so that I could get on with things. I have always been a very strong person, both mentally and physically and it is no fun having to ask my DH for help. But given the way I have been feeling these past few days I know that I am going to have to rely on him more and ask him to help with more around the house, if I am going to be able to keep functioning.
Thanks for allowing all of us who suffer a safe place where we can speak what we are feeling, and know that someone, somewhere has probably felt the same way!
God Bless to everyone!
JB
