Stamina in NYC

I spent Labor Day weekend in NYC visiting friends from Chicago.  I had mentioned to them in an earlier email that I was pretty good during the day, but not so good at night.  Sort of a "sundowning" effect.   I actually did much better than I expected - even J. mentioned it - so I felt good about that.  I still dread friends seeing me in an "off-state", especially as my face tends to stiffen up, making it difficult to talk. But I continued on, popping extra doses of carbidopa/levodopa before going out to the movies, or a late dinner, or an evening walk.  I was so happy to be with A & H,  that it lessened my symptoms.  Laughter and stimulating conversation can do wonders.

Introduction: What are the Secondary Symptoms?

The wide range of symptoms for Parkinson's Disease are generally divided into 2 categories - "Motor" or primary symptoms, and "Non-Motor" or secondary symptoms.   The motor symptoms are what's visible to everyone and the obvious signs of PD: resting tremor in the arms, legs or chin, rigidity or stiffness, slowness in movement, balance problems, walking problems which include decreased arm swing and shuffling steps.  The secondary symptoms are what you can't see: Anxiety and depression, memory problems, apathy, cognitive difficulties, fatigue, insomnia, constipation, lightheadedness, urinary frequency, numbness or tingling, sexual dysfunction...just to name a few.  This blog will focus more on the "Non-Motor" since I've had them all !

I Screwed Up

There are some bad things that happen to good people at least once in a lifetime. Getting fired from a job.  Getting a speeding ticket.  Stuff you try to avoid.  This past Sunday I was in Manhattan for the day with my partner Julio.  We go in often enough that it's fairly routine.  I carry my meds with me for the day.  I start to fade around 3 or 4pm, take the train home at that time, Julio comes back later in the evening.  No problem.  But this time J. said stay till 8pm & then i'll come back with you.  I just was not thinking. I took my last dose at 6:30pm.  I had no extra stash at all.  Nada. Zip. Zero. I keep extra doses in my car, but that was parked back in Jersey.  I screwed up.  I was panic stricken. We missed the 7pm train out of Penn Station, the next one was at 8pm.  What a nightmare.  Of course the train was full of loud drunks, screaming babies, the whole nine yards.  I was not a pretty sigh...
