Staying positive
I was diagnosed 7 years ago but I managed to keep an active lifestyle. Gardening is therapeutic and some kind of physical activity. Low impact dancing is very much a needed social activity but you have to get others involved which is not everyone’s cup and tea. I play walking soccer once a week which helps a a lot. Definitely afternoon siesta helps a lot but I never lie in bed for a nap. Recliners are great but please get the one with the remote. Very important feature. In addition to levodopa, I am given Xadago 100mg. Very effective. Plus I strongly believe that vitamin B1 and magnesium helps me stay healthy and steady.
