Started Meds Doing better

 Just an update for you all.  started Mirapexin and on very low (first week) dose.  I'll increase slowly. I was surprised how emotionally battered I felt the day I started.  I did not expect to be affected that way but found the day made me realise "You have Parkinson's"....I was so depressed & upset.

Now I'm fine (psychologically) and I think it helped just making the decision to start!

I am back doing my PhD, back exercising and slowing getting into a routine of living.  I LOVE not working!  Going to get a dog.

Thanks to you all for your support to date. 

I think I'm now in the "living with Parkinson's" stage rather than the "fighting Parkinson's stage" !!

I do still fear for future but think living one day at a time the best

Love to all

Hello Girlirish,
I was so pleased to read your latest post and to know you have started your meds. Just to hear you say you feel so much better brought a big smile to my face. I have been on Mirapexin about 9 months now amongst other meds and although pd affects my legs pretty badly people rarely know i have it <until i get up to walk about>. The meds make me feel good and most time as normal as anyone else. Your post has made my day. My very good wishes to you , keep your smile going and don't forget memory lane. Grace
