Yes it is Apathy! I often say my best hours are in the morning . Well now i know if I had more time to think about my day, i have more time to think of excuses to flake! Lol 😂😂 ! And I have too many people in my life that are nice and don’t hold me accountable because they feel they shouldn’t. I have 2 friends who I try to flake on always!!! I tell them to call me when they are on the way and they don’t, because they have known my past history “ chronic flaker” i not depressed. Im just blah! Thank you for the tips.

Wonderful! Enjoyed this meeting so much!

I miss feeling motivated. I miss being quick witted and spontaneous. Apathy: 'No mountain is too high when you don't give a sh$t about climbing it'. 😐

The apathy has increased my empathy

Apathy for sure. Nothing fizzes me. Whether I win a billion dollars 💰 or my house burns down. Kinda ok as my health deterioration would drive anyone to the edge. REM Sleep Disorder has become something that happened now and then, now it’s constant. Neurologist has me on a medication for sleeping in order to stop me from jumping out of bed to catch the rabbit I’m chasing in my dreams. Also have had had railings installed on my bed for same reason

Hi Robynn, I am watching this video from Germany. You said that you suffer from problems breathing because of your diaphragm. Since a few weeks I have problems with breathing too and I have that feeling that my diaphragm is pressing against my lung. My Doktor says it has nothing to do with PD. I try to breath deep but the effects are not grat. Have you some advice for me. Take care. XxDoris

My DBS battery pack pulls on my neck still like a tether. It hinders neck mobility & that causes pain and lock ups. The only real issue. I need more slack in the wire!! 🥹
