When I noticed the beginning of the symptoms in November 2020 I reacted immediately with the (self-) treatments described in previous posts. The symptoms only manifested at that time in my music playing and I managed to get them reasonably well under control which enables me to continue enjoying making music.
In the last weeks I began noticing slight tremors in non-musical activities like holding a spoon to get coffee out of the jar. (BTW, a strong coffee after waking up is recommended on various medical websites.) Aiming cups and dishes into the cupboards or microwave does not happen just normally. I actually have to slow down and aim. Again, it is not near as bad as it was 5-6 years ago, I now just recognize it earlier.
This would indicate that while I am so far reasonably successful with my approach to control the symptoms when playing music, the progression of Parkinson’s disease appears to be carrying on, and now manifests in day to day operations. Therefore it is time to see what (if anything at all) can be done to address the root cause and slow down the progress (progress is not always good…). Suggestions are welcome.
