I'm 60 and not feeling a day over 20. I want to get on with so many new things and new adventures. I will as soon as I beat this Parkinson's crap and every other rotten name I can call it.

Facing Parkinson's head on

Got it when I was 48 and it's only in the last year that I'm really facing Parkinson's head on. I'm fit and I'm going to get back my life again. I believe in my strength and the power of will but meds do the job too. I'm changing at the moment from Mirapex to Neupro and it's hard. Off time most of the day and just hoping the dyskinesia doesn't get any worse. Sound familiar?

I'm married to a fabulous man who loves me like a soul mate and two beautiful kids Stephen and Fiona, 20 and 22. They are my life.

At the moment living just hr to hr but hopefully I'll be better soon and then I can take on the world. Or am I just messing with my head?

Is this the only way? The meds? Well for me yes, but I'm on little or too much. My story isn't great at the moment but will get there.
I JUST KNOW.
