I'm thrilled to hear about the benefit you get from boxing. I just joined Rock Steady recently. Nothing so far has stopped my tremor but you have given me hope! I'm so sick of that blasted tremor I could scream. I do notice my balance seems to have improved with the boxing, though.

Well, welcome, John. What part of the country are you in?

How often do you go?

Beckey in reply toJohnfra

Well, as of now, three times a week. Not this week because the gym was closed over the long weekend. There's a class that meets at a gym only a couple blocks from me on Sundays, and now there are two at a gym that's a short drive at a good time. I missed more than a week when I got an attack of "why bother?" and definitely feeling very alone, so your encouragement comes at a great time -- thanks John!

Johnfra,

I've been boxing at RSB for 9 1/2 yrs. in Indy (diagnosed 13 yrs. ago) & it has definitely slowed my progression). Keep up the good work. Sounds like it's helping you too.

Keep fighting!

I have a PwP friend that made a DVD for meditation. It's called "Relaxing with Thomas".I also eat Xocai Chocolate & coconut oil. They seem to calm me.

How's boxing going ?

laglag in reply toJohnfra

Boxing is going great. I started out at the headquarters in Jan. 2007, 3 mths. after they started and then about 1 1/2 yrs. ago switched to an affiliate that is 20 miles closer to my house. I still go back to headquarters when they have their "Training Camp" once or twice a month. It's fun meeting all the new trainees from all over the U.S., as well as some from other countries. How long have you been working out with Rock Steady?

I know you were asking Beckey, but my tremors are worse at night. When I get up in the morning, mine don't start until 9 or 10:00.

Hi Johnfra,

Welcome to this community! I trust that you can get some helpful fellowship here (and advice--but with a large grain of salt, seeing as most of us are not medically trained.) Tremors that are "nonexistent" cannot be "troublesome"! Did you omit some words and actually mean to say that "but, other times my tremors are more troublesome, I think"?

Is typing difficult for you? (Without punctuation, your meaning will sometimes be tricky to understand :) ) My own unedited typing efforts are a joke of transposed letters because the jumpy left hand is totally out of sync with the right.

Beckey in reply tolempa_nik

Not for me. I have mental "autocorrect," ha ha!

lempa_nik profile image
lempa_nik in reply toBeckey

To paraphrase John Lennon (or was it Paul McCartney?), "if my mind gets fully demented, I would be the last one to know." Aye, aye, Matey, comforting thought that!

"The only difference between me and a mad man is that I am not mad." Salvador Dali- Parkinson's sufferer

What did Dali mean? My guess: That he had the grotesque visions of a mad man, but was not terrified by them because he could control them--entertain them or not, as he chose. And in fact, these visions were fuel for his creative fire as an artist. So they were welcomed with open arms.

That looks like a topic for another post. Parkinson's and psychosis.
