Parkinsons Decease can be a very hard condition to be diagnosed because the symptoms vary so much from person to person When I first suspected there was something wrong with me I I didn’t think I would have any kind of life left anymore I must admit it I made myself ill and very miserable but as the months turned into years I began to think it wasn’t getting as bad as quickly as I had expected it to I can’t say when I suddenly found I was thinking I don’t want to carry on being miserable and unhappy something had happened to me and I can’t to this day how

I thank God everyday for giving me my life back it had to be him it couldn’t have come from anyone else Although I still have Parkinsons I don’t eat llme down

Pd does not get better on its own, so something must have happened, Did you change your diet or lifestyle? THere are things you can do to improve your condition, mainly in the line of exercise!

Hi John I can’t say exactly what happened to be honest with you I was really feeling sorry for my self and I must say I had lost interest in every thing:My appearance was at rock bottom and it was the one thing I cared about. before I got Parkinsons I really had let myself go. Up until then I hadn’t noticed how I looked and it suddenly dawned on me I was beginning to take an interest in my self and I hadn’t done that for a very long time. And as far as it goes I can only think it was the turning point for me returning to I’m normally again..I obviously hadn’t been aware just how bad I was my daughter says there has been a great change in me.You are probably thinking I’m mad you don’t know me so you probably do think I’m bonkers I changed and I can’t say how I or why I changed It seemed to me that I had come in out of the dark I’m not complaining it really has been a godsend to me and I’m thinking it could be him.Because I have never prayed as much as I do now since this awful Virus. came soon us I’m sorry John I can’t give a quick fix if I could I surely would

There is one thing I believe in very strongly and it’s positive thinking all the best to you I’ve gotta feeling I may be. Wrong if I am I apologise. Did you write a book a book on pd Cinderella 63

Yes! you can get it on Amazon. I am not allowed to tell you my email address but you can find it. I don't charge for anything I do, so it will not cost you anything. What have you got to lose?

Hi kaypeech. I had my book first published by a company other than Amazon. That did not work out very well, I asked them to stop printing my book, which they agreed to do. But they carried on printing it. They set a price which should put everybody off.

The price quoted by Amazon is much cheaper and it is always the latest edition. Did you not see that?

Hi kaypeech. There are two john Peppers on Amazon. If you had gone further down the options you would have found it but try "John Douglas Pepper"

I think I found it for about $25 but got distracted by a book titled, Running thru Parkinson's for $5 with free shipping.

My Bookm is $15,99 or maybe less. The colour of the cover is apricot.

Try this

You are better off reading the actual studies about exercise.

I read the article. Its conclusion is that treadmill exercise at 80% of maximum is safe but more studies are needed to decide whether it modifies motor signs of PD.

kaypeeoh in reply tokaypeeoh

That was a 2018 study. A 2014 meta analysis said, "Coclusion: Aerobic exercise showed immediate beneficial effects in improving motor action, balance, and gait in patients with PD." But then ended by saying more studies needed.

Thanks for your positive thoughts! It's so easy to get caught up with all the negative crap that the stress of it all can be yet another symptom that eats away at us.. I find when I dwell on the fear and conditions I'm feeling, I dread the future- but I have no facts on what might happen-So it's best to live one day at a time- Some of it is perspective- my dental receptionist out of the blue got kidney cancer and was gone in less than 3 months...she was a ray of sunshine every time we went into the clinic- happy, beautiful, young.. so now her 3 young boys and husband have no mother or wife.... So sad.. Look after yourself, read the posts about what others find helps, most importantly Work out daily, keep positive, and LIVE!

What very sad news you told brought a tear to my eye I like the picture you had of me being the bell of the ball what a lovely thought for me To answer your question the answer is Parkinsons does some what put a stop to most things that one can do alone I need someone to be with me if I want to leave the house
