When I was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I thought I was dealing with a tremor.
I had no idea what was coming next.
Nobody told me about the fatigue that could make me feel like I hadn’t slept in a week.
Nobody told me about the brain fog, the anxiety, the pain, the freezing, the swallowing issues, or the strange internal sensations that are difficult to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced them.
The hardest part hasn’t been any single symptom.
The hardest part has been realizing that just when I think I have Parkinson’s figured out, the rules change again.
A new symptom appears.
An old symptom gets worse.
A medication stops working quite the same.
Something that was easy six months ago suddenly becomes difficult.
That has been my experience with Parkinson’s progression.
Not one giant decline.
A thousand small adjustments.
Over the years I have learned to modify plans, conserve energy, accept help when I need it, and find new ways to do things I once took for granted.
