a cure in the headlines...

My latest (and not likely my last) PD blog post:

Edit: this comment is directed at the news article headline:

This is not a cure:

irishpost.com/news/doctors-...

"He saw a man enter the pub who appeared to be suffering from Parkinson’s. He was left aghast, however, when 20 minutes later, the man who had previously struggled to walk, was up on the stage, effortlessly performing Irish trad."

This is a treatment that helps to mitigate the condition. Words have meanings. It does not help anybody to ignore those meanings.

I think Imshakydad agrees with you, park_bear. It's disappointing to see so many stories touting a "cure." I share Imshakydad's belief that there probably isn't a single cure for all of us because I don't think what is now classified as PD is a single disease.

So I see. I did not realize his first few paragraphs were very finely honed Snark. Well then, let my prior comments be regarded as directed directed towards the breathless press reporting.

To all who sending these total, complete bogus information about cure(s) like Irish Dancing. It is preposterous to suggest such a "thing" .

I am not 100% believer that medical science knows and has answer for all, but medical

science is eventually going to find, but not yet and not now. At this moment there is no cure!!!

All those who write and expect that to hear the answer "yes, there is the cure, for PD" lure

themselves.

PD is extremely, extremely tough illness. My husband has been having for 10 years, and last 3 years is daily, total hell, for him and for me the only care giver. supporter, consoler, all in one body, one person. He lost ability to speak, just mumbling that I don't understand

AT ALL, no capacity towrite, no capacity to use computer. I was shocked to read one of today blogger reporting how awful he feels and deals with PD, but was able to write his report to the blog. My conclusion is : he is doing quite well, despite all complains.

My thoughts and suggestions are : if someone is diagnosed with PD, put everything in order : your living will especially, give to your closest person direction and tell him/her your

wishes, move to the area where the assisted suicide is legal and when days become tough

and unbearable don't expect miracle, don't expect anything, be ready to say final "goodbye".

Life like everything, everything is impermanent and we'll, all, absolutely all, does not matter CEO's of silicon empire, those with influence and wealth and those with out wealth

will die. Do not prolong the suffering, your own and those around you. Be ready.

Meanwhile, at this moment enjoy whatever gives you that, maybe these readings , if you can, or something else, if you still can do "something", because some of parkies like my

husband cannot anymore.

Sayonara,

Doctor's assisted death or suicide is forbidden by God

[ladyaudree]

I totally agree. My heart goes out to you and your husband.

[elka68]

Have you talked to God and asked if it is forbidden?

If you received answer "Yes" so continue to struggle.

Maybe how you understand God, Hell, Your struggle.....

God does not have problem with it, humans, or some

humans do.

Not to offend you and your connection with God.
