Angie, Although I would never actually call being diagnosed with PD a blessing, I have been blessed many times over with articles like yours. You keep hope alive!

You sang in Tabchoir? So did I. We need to get together. The only other person I know from choir that has PD doesn’t go to Rock Steady.

Never stop believing in the good things to come and keep beating up on those punching bags. Movement of body and mind is key!

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad, @lindacmail. It can definitely be so hard on the caregiver as well as the patient. Is your mom able to get breaks or time to herself often? – Chris, ParkinsonsDisease.net Team

I put my life into perspective.
1) appreciate love
2) stop fighting dumb stuff
3) do more fun stuff
4) advocate for PD
5) purr like a kitten on a pillow more often
6) tread softer
7) feel stronger
8) stay positive
9) be more creative
10) adjust to new opportunities rather than complain about losses.

Great article!

I remember hearing that when we get it earlier, it doesn’t advance as quickly. Wishful thinking. Then again, maybe it was to keep us optimistic. Check out this story about Lou Gehrig during his days of ALS. http://www.espn.com/mlb/flash/gehrigletters

My father has been suffering with Parkinson’s disease for many years; he’s hanging on, but his quality of life is very poor. At least he is still at home, but it is very hard on my mother.

I’m feeling pretty good today. Well, I’ve only been up a couple of hours😊. I have a Japanese proverb on my wall I see every morning. “Seven times down, eight times up.” I do my best to follow this every day.
