I know my title may seem like there is no hope, but it's a demon I personally want to beat. I'm a person who if you say I can't do something like getting up from a low setting chair, well I will get up just to show you I can. While Parkinson's has taken my balance, my smelling things and I can't write my name or any one else's now, I have found some ways around all of them with therapy. I count my steps and I take a sleep aid at night so I can function the next day. I will fight to have as normal a life as long as possible. I have a very supportive family and my husband is the center of them. Will I survive this? Answer is, "Hell yes I will"! Never give up fellow PD people.
