Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Hi. I've not been too good - had a stomach bug that left me in bed with nothing to do but dwell on things. Waking to horrid panic attacks every day.
Still not had a date for the scan. I'm not coping well with the wait. Have decided now is probably not the best time to go away. I feel weak and exhausted.
Thanks for asking. I appreciate it.

Maybe you could go somewhere when you have gained your energy back; I think it would be good for you if can manage it.
Waiting for dates to come through is agonizing. I know it is difficult, but you just have to put that to one side.
The main thing is you get yourself well from the bug that you had.
Make sure that you eat and drink well, if nothing else.
Gain your strength back.
Maybe you could write some letters to people. I did that when I was cocooned for 3 months. Listen to music that gives you happy memories. Phone a few old friends from the past or something like that. :)

That's really bad luck to get a stomach bug on top of everything else. I'm not surprised that you're feeling low and hope that you feel better and get that scan date very soon xx

Get some rest, listen to your body. Maybe when you rebound a little a trip would be more realistic. Sending hugs :hugs:

Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
The doctor has put my sickness down to anxiety. I have literally made myself ill worrying about this.
I am trying hard to change my mindset. Whatever type it is I already have it and the scan is only going to confirm the extent.
Bed is still my refuge but I am trying to get up more and do little things to distract me. I've contacted the Parkinson's support helpline and hope to hear from them soon.
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
I think the support line is a good idea. They should be able to help a lot.
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
That's a great idea. I was just going to ask if you had support groups around, but you got there first. Hope you are feeling a little better soon.
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Just get as much support as you can from every appropriate avenue. Really hope you feel better mentally and physically very soon xx
Re: Diadnosed Parkinism. Anxiety sky high
Are there any you can attend? You might make some good friends there too?
