O.K. fellow parkinson's suffers it's time to fight back! There are new genetic treatments for p.d. at phase 2 now. After phase 3 next yr it's off to the wizard of the F.D.A. for approval. This is where like the scarecrow we get our new brain. After which a very long hire sounds soooo good. I'm hear to relate and communicate. Had p.d. 15 yrs. Take sinemet every two hrs. Intend on beating parkinson's. Enjoy life! Hate freeze time with a passion! Hope all parkinson's suffers respond to this post. Let's get loud and draw a crowd!

Hidalgo...As I search for my own yellow brick road, you have inspired me to keep singing these lyrics until there is a cure:

"I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain."

Not exactly sure what ding-a-derry means, but it sure sounds like more fun than dystonia, bradykinesia, or dyskinesia!

"Oh I could tell you why,
the ocean's near the shore,
I'd think of things I never thunk before, and then I'd sit
and think some more"

I had a t-shirt made up. In huge print it says
"Shaken...
Not Stirred"
below that in fine print it says:
"Parkinsons Does Not Define Me"

That's the way to go Hidalgo. I love your attitude so what ever you do that helps your fight against PD, just pass it on to all of us who suffer from the same. It will help!!!!!
Keep on kicking and fighting back until you are a winner.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
