I would be interested. I’m on Central time. We need all the help we can get. I belong to a great support group in Winnipeg. We are now starting in person meetings again after COVID.

I do practice mindfulness. My daughter teaches it and has been helping me out. It does help to quiet the mind, I just need to do it more often. As you well know, it’s not an easy disease to live with.

I went off my Ofev for 10 days while traveling through Ontario. The washrooms are far and few between coming out of Manitoba. I suffered no ill effects and resumed taking the medication as soon as I returned home. Hope it works out for you. Good luck

Luckily, I am not on oxygen but do get tired easily. At 74, it’s either my age or this insidious disease. I still consider myself lucky as I know there are a lot…[Read more]
