I agree with that. I always have to tell my mom to relax and not stress herself out. She does yoga and mediation so that helps her out. I'm sorry you have it. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

pearshoot, sorry you have this disease, but welcome to the forum, and it's good that you're a slow progressor. I hope you find a lot of support and friendship here. I also echo what both you and Sandy have said about stress being harmful. The time to push ourselves to accomplish as much as possible is over. The more upbeat we are, the better we feel...and the easier it is on our caregivers, as well.
