Feeling lonely

Hi everyone I'm Sarah tucker I am new to this. I have Parkinson for 7 years. I have gone to Doctors the whole time they kept testing me and they did not think it was Parkinson's. I thought I was becoming a hypochondriac. At any rate I was put on carbidopa/levodopa. I felt much better that I new what was wrong. I have had restless leg syndrome for many years well it disappeared last August only to come back 2 weeks ago full force. So I called my regular dr. and he gave me my prescription back so I haven't got much sleep at all. I walk the floor up 2 six hours.

Trying to keep busy

Today and a few lately I have had off periods on and off all day. Last month the dr. Increased my mends and I now take Rytary. I also started drooling so I got a shot to stop it; well it dried my mouth so bad I could even eat. So I called him and he gave a script for pilocarpine, well that's better but everything taste bad. My husband does not know what to do with me I can't explain how I feel. I tell him I'm tired from not sleeping and have no energy but I keep trying. I've been painting my kitchen and wallpapering just to keep busy. I've been at it for 6 weeks I may never get it done but I'm a determined person. Well I could go on but my hands are shaky so I can't type well. Thanks for listening.
