Well, here I am again telling you my woes of having Parkinson's Disease! Actually this disease has made me realize just how fragile and complex the human body is! It's hard to imagine, that missing a few cells in the brain can lead to uncontrollable muscle movements,
rigidity,depression,lack of facial expression, loss of balance, smaller handwriting and numerous other symptoms. This is such a complex disease that no two people have the exact same symptoms and there are about 1.2 million people in the U.S. alone that have PD! Plus from the onset of this disease until diagnosis, could be anywhere from 2 to 10 years! I was diagnosed a little over 2 years ago, but probably had it about 6 or 7 years ago. People always told me the bad habits I had when I was younger would destroy my brain cells, but I never listened. What's next hairy palms? Oh well, life is a challenge and you work with what you got, sometimes it's just a little harder. I still consider myself fortunate to have what I have in life and always will. I still have a surprise for my readers this month, and will probably divulge my secret in my next blog. Until then stay tuned and thanks for listening.
