Moving along

When I woke up this morning I still had Parkinson's. Saw two specialists since Aug, one in November. He wasn't very helpful. Second in March. Now, he was helpful, providing information and resources. So he began me on a patch to supplement the MAO inhibitor the first guy started me on, and it worked fairly well, but my legs are swollen, I feel zoned about half the time, and it has been recalled, so I have to wean off it and tomorrow they're supposed to call me and tell me what my new meds are. It was nice not to shake so much. I never got to a therapeutic dose (Neupro) and was just taking the 2 mg patch daily. My own Dr. believes strongly in natural approaches and has me on B vitamins and other supplements to try to save my brain. I feel passive. I hope they can
save me. There are some things I want to do before I lose my mind.
