When people say Parkinsons does not hurt I tell them try Having what I call a Charlie Horse in your leg for an hour hurts. The cramping in my hands that turn into claws hurts. Tremors in your hand muscles will cramp like getting writers cramp. It goes away quickly if you stop writing but it lasts and lasts for us. What Parkinsons does to your muscles over time hurts. Not everyone gets the same symptoms so it is different with each of us. That is why we have our Parkinsons. Having it for 8 yrs now I walk like a zombie. Drop things and hand tremors make eating an adventure at times. But I get up every day and fight this disease with all I have.
