This is a video everybody should see. It explains the essence of what it’s like to have Parkinson’s. You put into words exactly what I am experiencing. I want to been trying to write a book about but it’s too hard to put into words. I could watch this 10 times. It’s really awesome.
Hi my name is Irene and I enjoy listening to everyone’s story. I love dogs we had one for 17 years, because of my age my husband doesn’t thing it is good thing, the dog would out live me and it’s not fair to the pet.
I was diagnosed last July, I started to watch/listen this meet up since last September, it gave me so much encouragements to face my fears. Thank you very much!

I have a genetic defect preventing me eating sugar in any form, my craving for carbs drives my blood sugar way up and I know that my doctor condemns me. It is like a slow suicide.
I don't feel any shame but I do have quite a bit of fear. Like Davis I am a cyclist and ultra runner. I was diagnosed 11/21 but knowing the symptoms I believe I may have had it for close to 10 years. I am scared to death that what, and how long, my body will fail bad enough that I will not be able to compete. I also don't want to become a burden on my children.
