When talking about symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, you usually hear the basics when it comes to listing them all. Recently I ran across a question, posed by a PD patient and answered by an online geriatric nurse that specializes in caring for people with PD. The question? How do I know when I’m close to ... ...
I don’t know. Often when asked, our response to the question, “What will happen to you?” in regards to having Parkinson’s disease is, I don’t know.

Many of you have asked how my book is coming. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! It’s coming along great, actually. Here is a sneak preview. This excerpt is from Chapter 6: Fear of the Unknown… I remember meeting my son for lunch one day and as I got out of the car, my foot was dragging ... ...
Seems we’ve been gone a while… I think we’re back. I think it started when Judy lost her mom. She was busy with all that a tragedy like that entails – details for services, in-town guests, dealing with grief. She still is trudging her way through that sorrow.

We all have burdens to bare… thanks be to God that we are not left to bare them alone. If your world is shaking today, for whatever reason – an illness, a broken relationship, the loss of a loved one, you’re just feeling down, lonely, weary, tired – maybe discouraged, worthless? If your world is ... ...

Remember, Parkinson’s Awareness Month starts this coming Thursday, April 1st (no kidding) – do you have a great way that you have that will bring awareness to others about PD? Please share! For the article ‘Who ... ...
Greetings to my friends who join us at Parkinson’s Journey, a blog site I get to contribute to by way of Sherri’s kindness and willingness to let me share my heart (and frustrations at times) about how PD affects my life and the lives of my family and friends. I haven’t blogged any recently due ... ...
I will ask for forgiveness first and give you fair warning. The following is a conversation I had online with a dear friend who has had PD about the same length of time as I have. We share a similiar passion for photography and have met a couple of times in person, but have had ... ...
