I just came to your brilliant concept of "dopamine points" that you so casually interjected; that is a spot-on way to characterize day to day living with PD. It's like you're at the arcade playing Skee-Ball and it's spitting out tickets and you need to decide what you're going to trade them in for today. Will it be the army guy? Fake tattoo? A wad of bubblegum? Or do you try to save them up so you can get an even better prize? The whoopie cushion? A box of four crayons? Sweet tarts? We literally have to deliberate how best to spend the limited energy that we have available each and every day. I feel another post brewing... Thanks for the muse!
