Could it be that you are less active? My husband spends a lot more time sitting and reading. Our walks together are much shorter and less frequent than they used to be. He eats less, so his weight is stable, but that is partly because the meds make him nauseous.
My husband weighed 154 pounds at the outset of his PD diagnosis about a year and a half ago and now weighs 170, in spite of a regular workout regimen at the gym and a strict diet of fish and no processed foods.

I just wanted to share, didn't mean to break the rules. But depression is part of PD. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. But I live in the real world with real problems, and I was just saying the world isn't all lollipops and roses, so I was expressing I had a so-so day, is that wrong?
