  I'm With You

  you are right... so many are reluctant to share their specifics... we all know no two pd-ers are alike and no neurologist can provide enough details... things here have settled... i am not watching my husband like a hawk and i think he quietly see and respects that.... his right hand up to his shoulder tremors have become fatiquing. He is now swimming and soon we are tying acupuncture via a friend who's done her research.. am anxious to try anything that keeps us managing this disease and keeping symptoms at bay. randy retires on november 9th and already has a trip scheduled with my brothers to costa rica... man trip they call it.... fine by me... it's a nice big distraction and a show of faith that he is still the same guy and can try to tackle anything he cares to. we will stay tuned... and thanks again for the contact... i prefer to lay low and watch developments but frankly, i need to stay away from the unhappy dwellers... i need positive hope and successes.. one day at a time. stay warm this weekend... it isn't snowing here yet in wisconsin but anything is possible once summer is over. patti

  thanks again for sharing... this site has provided many supportive and positive points... but you went a step further and added your personal history as well.... that means a lot to me.... we all learn as we grow with this disease.

  Hello, I'm not too familiar with this forum, yet, but I do appreciate a {{hug}} now and then. Yes, my name of craftycat for craftycathy does mean that I love doing craft projects. My worse problem is the creativity is there, but I just can't seem to find the ambition or energy to do much, anymore. I guess that's called apathy. I'm not sure how to get out of that, but I'm working on it. Thanks for being here and your welcome.

  Thanks bwilli. I was afraid I might be banned because I've never seen people get into 'tiffs' on this forum. I did feel bad about it as I know it cannot be an easy time for crafty but by the same token, I'm one who never believes in excuses for bad behavior. I certainly wouldn't have felt good about myself making crafty feel worse in return which is why I tried to be sympathetic with my closing comments. I'm acutally more worried over how crafty's response made you feel. Please don't despair. Reno and Fox aren't pretending they have PD. They actually do have it and so they REALLY AND TRULY are testaments to the fact that life will not end tomorrow. I've done extensive research since my husband's diagnosis and the one common thread I've found is exercise. Not as a cure certainly, but to help maintain mobility as long as possible. Perhaps you saw my post a week or so ago but the John Argue book called Parkinson's Disease and the Art of Moving. It really makes sense to me. I finally got my husband to read the intro and think he is open to starting to do some of the exercises. If you've not looked into the exercise aspect I really believe it's worth your time to explore. Have a nice evening.
