Is there anyone else that is exhausted mentally and physically just doing things? I take a shower and I’m exhausted. I make dinner ahead so I can put it in the oven for later and I’m completely exhausted. Anything I do takes the life right out of me. Wears me down. I’ve been like this for many weeks now. Anyone else??

Many community members responded to the question about Parkinson's stages and exhaustion, sharing that deep fatigue from simple tasks like showering, cooking, and getting dressed is a very common and real experience. Several members offered comfort by noting that neurologists often cannot assign a specific stage because every person's journey with Parkinson's is unique, and many encouraged going day to day and surrounding yourself with positive people. A recurring theme was finding motivation through faith, pets, routines, and self-compassion, while reminding each other to keep pushing forward.

Yes I get exhausted after I shower or fill bird feeders etc.. I get my planed chores together in my head then I start and go until done and when the fatigue sets in I get mad and usually I can push through but not always but I pat myself on my back for giving it a good shot then I set and watch tv or write on here or read the Bible until I can move again and pray for all my Parkinson friends!!!

Hey DMarie, I have said this before. They can't say what stage as everyone's journey is different so to place uou into a stage is wrong. I have said this also,go day to day. You are going to have ups and downs, but live your life doing what you love. Find something you love to it or a person to spend time with. Keep family and positive people around you.

Me three, I pretty much have a routine I follow to keep moving. Thank God I have Bear, he's my dog, and I have to take him out. That motivates me to keep going. So I walk or try to walk a lot for him. He's my physical therapist. I'll pray for you, and here's a hug.

Hi Connie, you are one of the first to have yor doc say he doesn't believe in stages. I have said over and over. No two people share the same journey with PD. Thank you for posting that comment.

Sometimes I get that way. But you just have to keep pushing or you will become unable to do anything for yourself which would be really bad. The P Devil is tough to fight but we must
