Happy New Year,  Happy Valentine's Day and soon we will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day! 

Sorry I have been gone so long. I was hospitalized  for most of December and still under the weather for the month of January. Then my computer broke and, after a month, I just recently got it back! It has been just one obstacle after another. I'm still hanging in there and I have missed writing on the blog!

This March will be 10 years since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. It has been a journey that I did not envision for myself 10 years later. I have been hospitalized too many times, tried new medicines that made me sicker, and fought to get financial assistance only to be told that I still can function like a person without a disease. The system doesn't recognize PD as a disease. They don't understand that you might suffer from  depression or you get sick from the medicines that you take!

Ten years later,  I am dealing with life with PD one day at a time! I wake up thankful everyday! I just make adjustments  because I don't know how my body is going to react. I am on new medications and I'm living with this disease positively! I have had more good days than bad days so I won't complain!

I will be posting again so please continue to follow me on my journey!

Coming Soon...

Raise Awareness

April is Parkinson's Awareness Month. Let's get ready to make an impact now.
It can be as as simple as voting in the T-Shirt Design Contest, as fun as sending an eCard to a friend, or as forceful as writing a letter to the editor.

PDF's toolkit, 30 Ways to Raise Awareness of Parkinson's, offers tips and tools for making an impact in your community. Whether you are a person living with Parkinson’s, a spouse, a partner, a child, a grandchild, a parent or a loved one, we hope you will find an idea in this toolkit that works for you!
