Hi Cindy,

Thank you for sharing your journey and experiences. It sounds like you are navigating a complex set of symptoms and emotions with a lot of strength and resilience. Here are some points that might help address your concerns:

- Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): This is a common issue in Parkinson's disease, often linked to a lack of dopamine. It can cause an uncomfortable urge to move the legs, especially when resting.

- Burning Sensation and Sciatica: These symptoms can be related to nerve pain, which some people with Parkinson's experience. Gabapentin is often used to manage nerve pain and might help with these symptoms.

- Medication Effects: While Gabapentin can help with nerve pain, it's important to monitor any new or worsening symptoms and discuss them with your doctors. They might need to adjust your medication or explore other treatments.

- Anxiety and Speech Issues: Anxiety can exacerbate speech difficulties and other symptoms. It's great that you have a supportive psychiatrist and neurologist. Regular updates and open communication with them are crucial.

- Support and Resilience: Your message highlights the importance of community and mutual support. Sharing experiences and learning from each other can be incredibly empowering.

Remember, managing Parkinson's is indeed a full-time job, and it's okay to seek the care and answers you need. Keep advocating for yourself and working closely with your healthcare team.

Stay strong and keep sharing your journey. You are not alone in this.

Best wishes,
