Hello fine people of SaSu,
I'm in my 40's and have suffered mental illness all my life. In the past few years I've developed a tremor down the left side is my body and I've just been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
The main issue I'm having with the tremor is it has significantly intensified my anxiety particularly in the mornings.
I wake up feeling so bad I'm more or less paralyzed. I can usually drag myself out of bed and get to work although I'm not particularly productive. This will last at least 4 hours but can go on all day.
Diazepam helps significantly but my doctor won't give it to me anymore and I'm well aware I can't take it everyday so only take it when I absolutely have to.
I was taken off my antidepressants to see if it helped with the tremor which isn't helping the situation. I can't go back on them until they work out the medication for the Parkinson's.
Any tips on how I can improve this?
Thank you!
