That is a very good question. My blood pressure runs low usually. I will check that out. I appreciate the thoughtful answer. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the great advice. I think part of it is feeling like I'm alone. I feel so guilty when I tell friends I can't make it for our planned events. I know I'm just having a pity party, but I really need to come up with a plan. I've been thinking about writing it down on a calendar and checking it off as I accomplish it.

I will talk with my doctor to see if she has any ideas to help. Hoping the best for you and your life! 🥰

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Have you checked your blood pressure I find if mine is to low I'm more tired and sluggish I have reduced my high pressure meds, I try to stay around 135 over 85

It is difficult to get out and go I know that. How many times I’ve said yes I’ll come and then said at the last minute I’m not feeling well I can’t make it. How many times I’ve told someone you have to come over and visit and I dread that they might really do that. Now when I am invited to something or to meet somewhere that I told them “yes” I say “But I have to let you know that I have Parkinson’s and often I don’t know what the day is going to bring. I may feel good one day and then wake up the next morning and not feel good so you have to realize that I may have to cancel at the last and I certainly will let you know.” It helps me to be upfront and honest about it. But the depression and the not wanting to go anywhere I wish I had an answer for you. I don’t because I feel the same way. My husband loves to go and I fear I put a damper on things he likes to do and I don’t want to do that. Good luck to both of you and they’ll be others I’m sure that will answer your question better than I. You can’t take a happy pill every day… well you could but I’m not sure it would work every day. You have to force yourself to get up and go out and trust me I know it’s hard. I did tell my doctor I needed an antidepressant so he gave me Prozac. It is a milder antidepressant with no side affects for me and it helps. It doesn’t cure it or make you supervise happy… I just don’t cry as often and I take things (not so good things) a little better. I took Prozac years ago when battling breast cancer. So I knew it works for me. Good luck to you. Talk to your doctor, Hugs!

Thank you! I find it difficult to have social meetings. Friends seem to be dropping like flies now. Too many times of "just can't make it" to events does have a very negative sound to it.

I'm sorry you have such a hard time with this. Perhaps the people here can help. Whatever happens, you need a support group to help you. 🥰
