awe, thank you chair lady :) I'm sorry you have Parkinson's, and have to admit i don't know a lot about PD. I know hd is kind of a combination of parkinsons and alzheimers. I don't have any movement problems yet, but 5 years ago started to get muscle spasms and bit of balance problems, and choking on water a lot, some memory and thinking problems, sleep problems, and and and lol lol lol I havent been able to sew since i got hd, the thinking process was too hard for me, but i started on an alzheimers med a year and a half ago called memantine, it stops excess glutamate in the brain from killing brain cells, and so my symptoms are sooooo much better, and right after starting the memantine, i was able to start sewing again. I don't know if memantine would work in parkinsons, not sure if there is a glutamate problem in parkinsons. The other med i take is called seroquel. It is a mood stabilizer, helps the sleep area of my brain function proper again so i can sleep good, and it also improves muscle function by effecting dopamine levels, so that im no longer choking on water. So those are some things that have helped me, i hope you're doing well, so nice to meet you :)

Dear Barb,
I too have a few things on your list of symptoms. If I stay on my meds my symptoms are under control about 50 percent of the time. Huntington's is much more serious. Parkinson's has a short time on meds so looking into alternative medicine to help out when meds slack off.
Love the templates I use, the discs that help pull the needle and wish I could use the sewing machine more often. Looking at a guard for protecting fingers. Not good to have a machine using needle up and down with hands that shift back and forth! Wow buddy ! Have to really be on the bubble of meds to sew on machine !!
Nice to meet you.
