No cure for Parkinson's

So what? There's no cure for life. We all die from something. My attitude is I have Parkinson's, it doesn't have me. I live my life as best as I can given my limitations. I can walk some, hear see, drive and I concentrate on those things.I find humor, exercise and prayer help. This is my introduction. I no longer play drums professionally but I play drums. I can no longer drive for long trips but I drive to the beach. IOW, I focus on what I can do and not what I can't do. Yeah, I have Parkinson's. So what. It doesn't have me.

Compared o most PD people I'm just a kid so I have to feel the same way. It has made me much more spontaneous because when the weathers nice I get out and do something/anything! Soon it'll be the boat but have to do yardwork first!
