Recently I’ve Had Severe Emotional Overreactions When Talking About Thing. My Doctor Told Me It’s A “non-motor Symptom” Of Parkinson’s.
Whenever this happens, I become totally choked up and can hardly talk about it because I can’t stop crying! She told me that, unfortunately, she only treats “motor symptoms “ of Parkinson’s which doesn’t help me one bit. She suggested I look to the Internet to get help with it! I haven’t had much luck with that, though.
Does anyone else experience this same type of problem? If so, how do they deal with it?
Thanks, in advance, for any help they can provide!
I get choked up every time I try to sing. Especially in church, but also in car, around house, etc. It's odd. I didn't used to have this issue!
I have anger issues that I never had before it scares me
Thanks for responding, Ginny; I appreciate your input. I’m currently doing both. My PCP just reviewed the results of genetic testing he had done (to see drugs I was best suited to) and we’re making changes that will hopefully help. I’m already in counseling for Parkinson’s — trying to learn how to make friends with it since it’s not going anywhere! It hasn’t been very helpful with this symptom, though.
Anti-depressants or talk therapy may help.
