Weight! Yet it may be the most critical factor affecting your ability to cope with PD. When I first was diagnosed, I started gaining weight due to inactivity, Eventually I weighed roughly 45 pounds more than I do now. Everything was worse: pain, balance, mobility, and sleep. As I lost weight I actually felt as though I was reversing PD. (I wasn't but it felt better.)
