Vid host says, "It's so frustrating. It's so hard." Yes, it is. First lesson of PD is that it is hard. Second lesson is that it gets worse. Third lesson is that it does not get better. Fourth lesson is that being upset doesn't help; rather, being upset adds to your suffering. So, what to do? Drop the emotional attachment, and face PD just as it presents itself. Acknowledge PD does and will affect your life in every way. Accept the challenge you face. Do what you can to diminish the presence of symptoms. Maybe there will be a break-through cure in our lifetime, maybe not. Either way, live the life you have as best as you can.

Hi Alec thank you for your kind words and encouraging comment. It's not always easy for separate the PD from our perspective but it is good advice. Thanks for the comment and for watching.😀😁😊

Good job. Thanks. I gave up driving a year ago and glad I did before I hurt someone.

Hi Trooper, glad you found the video helpful. We gave up driving for the same reasons. 😁😊😀

@sharoncribbs7516 Год назад

I have thought about not driving because of my slow reaction time and my confidence in my driving. I haven't yet but I know it's coming at some point. Also people who don't have or understand Parkinson's kind of frustrate because they just don't get it when you say I can't do that any more or I'm sorry when I'm shaking or can't get my words to make any sense. I admire you and others who are making videos even when you may not feel like it. May you have better days!

Hello David i am now 58 years and i am now 8 years diagnost with Parkinkson . I looking out for you posted movies ....😊 My job was driver by the fire brigade . Last year i give up my werk . It was a verry heavy choice i got to make . If my collega's pass in the street with " sound and lights" my hart is bleeding . Buth there was no choice on it . We have to be strong and going on . I am now at the point that i make myself ready for DBS treatment . Dont you think about it ? Greets from me .

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Hi Sharon you are correct this was a very difficult video to film and it took me a couple of tries before I was happy with the wording. These Landmark events can be very large in life but on the other hand I am getting out and walking more and that will help me quite a bit. I know it's frustrating when people don't try to understand but it's the ones that invest in your life in spite of the Parkinson's that you know are the real friends. 😃😊😎

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Hi Pascal, I miss my last job as well, but as an overhead door technician, I could not do the job anymore anyhow, so I am happy to not have the pressure. I am on the list for DBS. Thanks for watching and for your comment.😉😀😁😊

Sorry to hear about you having to give up driving but you did the right thing for sure. You didn’t need the added stress of worrying about making it back home. It must be hard giving up a part of your independence but your wise to admit your limitations when it comes to Parkinsons and it’s demands on your health.

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Hi Jim, thanks for the kind words. PD is a wild ride! I am happier without the stress for sure.😀😁😊

When the time comes to make the difficult decision to give up driving we need to be able to honestly face reality and find alternative solutions. Even though I don't trust self-driving technology I would love to see how in the future it can help safely transport people with Parkinson's or other illnesses. Thank you for sharing your decision with us!

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Good point Jennifer, self driving technology could help a lot of people keep their independence. Let's hope it becomes more accessible for everyone. Glad you are able to keep driving. 😃🙂

@jerrym1070 Год назад

I am so sorry that you have given up on driving due to conditions . Hear you and others talk about not wanting to hurt others , that is a selfless sacrifice for others and says much about you . I was in DC 2 weeks ago . 9 hours in vehicle round trip . Body is still hurting from sitting so long

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Thanks, Jerry that is very encouraging and supportive. 9 hr round trip is a difficult journey.😀😁😊

Thank you for your story. It was very good I myself was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2017. My symptoms have slowly gotten worse my swallowing my speech it’s hard to write because the tremors they come and go just like my speech some days I’m very good or some parts of the day I’m good all the parts I’m not good my driving not water is not so bad right now, the only thing I don’t like is my eyes don’t move back-and-forth like they should. I’ve always had trouble with that now that is worse. That’s the only thing that scares me but I like your segment it was very good stay strong and look to see more of your stories in the future. Bye for now.

When I hear this I just think about how smart and wise you are, I know it was not easy. My husband got his license revoked on our first visit to the neuroglist. He had been a professional bus driver most of his life and was a very skilled driver. He had renewed his license when he was 80 passing his written test with no problem, The first time we went to the neuologist he was 83 and he revoked his license on our first visit. my husband by that time did not really understand what happened. He did not accept it for a long time but thankfully he has finally accepted it, but I still hide the keys to the car, because a psychotic episode is always possable.

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Hi Lynette, that you for sharing your PD walk, and also for your kind words. That must have been a very shocking experience when the neurologist revoked your husband's license. It sounds like there is a lot going on for your guys. My wife is planning to record a few caregiver videos in the near future. Thanks for your honest and open comments.😀😁😊

Well David, my driving journey ended close to a year ago but at the time it was a financial move not a driver's one. But in the last 7 months I was told I had Lewy Body Dementia and that driving on the highway 🛣️ was a possible risk to injure others. For me I take that responsibility very seriously. My religious belief is if I caused loss of life then I'm blood guilty before God (Gen 9:5/6 ) so in that respect it's all good I'm ok with not driving but losing that one more thing that thing that defined my adulthood for over 40 yrs is tough. So to bring some joy back in to my life I've taken up a new hobby 😀 one that is natural to me and helps with anxiety and pain ( reborn dolls, the sweet cute ones and not the scary ones ha ha 😅

@sharoncribbs7516 Год назад

How were you tested for lewy body? I am concerned about that myself.

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Hi Tory, our viewpoints on giving up the driving are very similar we don't really want to hurt ourselves or other people. That's good that you have taken up a hobby that is a lot of fun. I am getting out and walking more of which is benefiting me in every way. Yes we are saving a bit of money too which actually does help quite a bit. 😎😃😊

@sharoncribbs7516 Год назад

@toryberch How were you tested for lewy bodies? ( looks like I sent this question to myself first 😂 I'm concerned about that myself.

@toryberch Год назад

@@sharoncribbs7516 Hi Sharon, my diagnosis was determined by my symptoms. I started having memory issues like forgetting my neighbors names or to remember to shower But a couple years prior to this I had auditory hallucinations though I didn't know it at the time I thought it was normal to hear my Mom's voice calling my name or seeing a quick running mouse that wasn't really there. If you search Lewy Body Dementia association symptoms you should find several of their videos with real interviews from those with it. If I can help in any way let me know and I'll try 😊

Can you bike your way to places instead? You can get some thick tires to help you with the balance. You'd also get some exercise at the same time to increase the dopamine. Some amino acids can help you with dopamine synthesis like l-phenylalanine and l-theanine (found in black tea).

I am close to the issue. I only drive direct route with out free ways. It is strange, when I get in my manual shift MX5 Miata, it’s like different pathways cut in and I drive it straight up. The worst is my old Grand MARQUIS, it is a huge cloud to drive and I do have issues. I am leaving longer and longer distance to make up for time issues.

Sorry to hear that, but I suppose it's part of this illness, thanks for sharing.😀😁😊

@javier9119 Год назад

I'm trying to understand the "off". I find myself trying to stay in more of a highway situation versus bumper to bumper. I drive stick shift and sometimes on a hill I don't accelerate as quickly as I would like. Should I prepare myself metally to give up driving due to PD? I'd really like to understand this more. Thannks for this video. 🙂

@LifewithParkinsons Год назад

Hi Javier, you have certainly asked me a tough question. Should 'you' prepare mentally to give up driving due to PD? If you are beginning to have problems driving, like accelerating up a hill, then I think you need to at least talk to someone. I was having problems like turning the steering wheel, so you could imagine on a corner how dangerous that could be. Yesterday, I was driven to support group by someone with PD who is 77 years old, and then driven home by a wife of one of the PWP's who is 78. I AM 49 YEARS OLD!!! Wow that hit me hard. I had to talk to my wife for a while before I could fall asleep. I feel more relaxed not having to worry about causing a problem others have to fix by revoking my license. This video describes my off times fairly well. Thanks for the tough question. Keep them coming! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wwWOeWaApho.html

Hi David, I stopped driving about a year ago. The last time I drove was to the CVS drugstore which is about 2 miles (3.2 km) down the hill (we live in the S.F. Bay Area). We have a Tesla with Full Self Driving software; however, it's not 100% capable yet. My wife will drive from our home to our daughter's house in Oregon and let the car do about 95% of the driving. She does not have Parkinson's. I have PD and I do not want to have the slightest possibility of hurting anyone. Here's a little video of me telling my car to go park itself. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZSTpm8L9O00.htmlsi=u_U5UY2VoO8hmKUH

Thanks Tim. Have thought about a Tesla but it's just not in the budget. I don't blame you for your stance on not wanting any chance of hurting anyone. I agree. We are responsible for our actions. Thanks😁😊😀

My name is David a Olsen. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2017. My symptoms have gotten getting have gotten worse and now I find that I’ve always had this problem but now it’s worse my eye movement is not very good when I drive I drive good, but I have to move my head to look out the bat. You know the rearview mirror the Sideview mirrors all look around my eyes don’t automatically move by themselves. Did you have this problem as well When I’m driving I’m focused so I don’t get the tremor so much but my eye movement and and I always try to keep my concentration when I drive so luckily for now I’m still able to drive. I try not to drive too much at night did you have the same problems or were yours more of the mobility and rigidity problems when you were driving if you could give me any help they recommended that I go to a nuclear ophthalmologist. Did you have to do that as well if you could pass on any related comments or things that would help me be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@LifewithParkinsons 4 месяца назад

Hi David, I was diagnosed in 2017 as well, good year! All I can suggest about making the decision to drive is that as soon as we start the engine we are responsible for our actions. So if you feel safe to drive, no worries, but if you don't feel safe, park it! If you are having difficulty seeing what is in the mirrors then definitely see an eye specialist. For tremors, check out our latest blog post about something that could help. www.lifewithparkinsons.ca/post/hand-tremors-temporarily-reduced-by-breakthrough-medical-device-introducing-the-vilim-ball I hope this helps.
