      I've had diabetes for 7 years, which is controlled by diet. I also have Rosacea (6 years) but medication has been helping. I like to knit and bake (can't eat much of it though), watch movies and go RV'ing in our trailer. My husband was diagnosed with PD in 2007.

The other one is a tabby cat and he is 4yrs. old . there is about two months difference in there age. and i also have real bad tremors at times when it is bothering me i can hardly write and my legs give me a lot of trouble but i dont know if the Parkinsons G.B.S.

    • Close Parkinson's Disease

      ConnieBell hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Close Arthritis

      I have oseteoarthritis which is affecting my shoulders. The last physiotherapist discovered recently that my shoulder blades weren't moving and so far she has loosened one and will be working on the other. It feels so much better, so hopefully I can regain the movement soon and get my strength back.

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      Swimming Working / Worked
      Can't swim now because of the movement in my arms
      Tylenol Working / Worked
      Helps a little
    • Open Rosacea

      I'v had rosacea for 6 years. It gets worse after stressful times and in the sun. I hate it when my face is red. The cosmetician at our local drug store thought my face was dehydrated and recommended some moisturizing lotion and makeup which is helping.

      Treatments

      Erythromycin Working / Worked
      It helps to a certain extent plus the face creams
      Evening Primrose Oil Working / Worked
    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      I've had it for 7 years.

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I walk and it helps
