Poem 4 - DBS - 1 procedure down and 2 to go
Poem 4 The day began before dawn but it wasn’t too bad, I want all to know. I can report - That’s one procedure down but still two more to go. By 9:00 AM I had a few extra holes in the top of my almost bald head. And by Noon, I was home comfy under the covers in my very own bed. The second

When all you have is luck... but then you loose hope for luck
I am one of the lucky ones amongst us ... PWP... but I am stuck in a rut of depression I can't shake. Dx'd (diagnosed) when I was 30, married with 2 kids. At the time I was traveling the world and racing ahead in my career. I thought all was well. In 2003 I ran a marathon by 2006 and

A little bit down
I've been feeling quite sad, but not depressed, the last week. I suppose part of it is feeling sorry for myself, but I have been sad that my Mum can't visit at the moment because her Menieres disease has started playing up again. I usually see her every second Monday but that won't happen any more until

I was dx 9 years ago, had DBS last year. Recently all toes and fingers feel ridged and sometimes lose my grip. Is this a PD progression?

Letting Go-The daughter of a Parkinson's patient urges her Dad not to give up.
Letting Go 2011 My heart feels like it has broken in two at the realization that my dad is gone. I say the words to myself, and cringe at their impact: “My dad is gone, and he’s never coming back.” I think this as I am looking straight at him, sitting up in his chair, a familiar pose; right foot

Just a quick update
I thought I had done this a couple weeks ago but I can't seem to find my post anywhere... I had the visit to the rheumy and many other visits with other specialists. Seems all is good so far with a few suprises. My ANA was positive at 1:80 and speckeled pattern. I also tested positive for Lyme

Do my symptoms sound like it could be APLS? Just sent bloodwork in. Trying to figure out what has been wrong with me for over 3 years!
My arms turn purple and get tight, cold and weak when I do physical activities or stand. I'm always lightheaded and have trouble with thinking and memory. I have not had a stroke or major hospitalization from a blood clot. Is it possible to have "small" blood clots that cause cumulative damage but

Poem No. 3
Yes, you’d be nervous too if holes were going to be drilled into your head But I‘ve assured all who have asked , that I am not anxious nor do I feel any dread. The bottom line is simply this – I have done everything that I can possibly do, So Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s

My Experience With Deep Brain Stimulation
I have not spent a lot of time discussing Deep Brain Stimulation, or how it has affected my lifestyle. The reason for this is simple. I'm not quite sure I am qualified. Yes, I was the one that endured the hours of surgery, and yes, I was the one who dealt with all the unknowns that brain surgery brings

Is it really a disease?
I have never thought much about healthcare, medication, research and definitely not about Parkinson’s disease. Well, here I am, 48 years old, cursing myself because I may have forgotten my meds at home and I have hundreds of questions and views on research, medication and healthcare organization. I went
