LAD 382 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in. Michael J. Fox LIKE GUITAR LESSONS! I was officially accepted into a study in which I will take guitar lessons for 6 weeks.... more later! LAD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LAD This is one of the best things I've been reading about lately--the idea of exercise being just like medicine and why. It prompts me to think more seriously about getting into a routine. We have a workout room here and get free directions on the use of the equipment and a suggested workout regimen tailored to our needs. I really need to get into it.

jb49 804 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 Hello everyone, Exercise and then exercise some more. Go for a walk to the store instead of driving and take the long way. I always found that my lazy days where I had little activity lead to my most uncomfortable nights. I used to say an hours robust activity was worth a handful of pills. Having said all that, it can be very difficult for some to even get out of bed for a meal. That is the catch 22. you need to excercise to move free, but you have to be able to move to exercise. TAKE CARE. JB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superdecooper 74 Report post Posted August 21, 2018 When a Bear Comes to Visit by superdecooper (c) 2018 They scratch, they bite. They're not polite. Visit without calling, coming unannounced into the middle of everything else. Won't sit still, gnawing on leftover meals. They're real. The place they like the best is sitting on my chest. Heavy, like a load of iron dead weight. I gather my strength to fight; but those claws that catch, those jaws that bite. On my chest, maybe the thing to do is just breathe. When bears come to visit, they will move on. Nothing to see here. Just breathe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great poem, I think that the bear visits my house about 3 in the morning and is a real pain. He twists my arms, whacks me on the shoulders and pulls the blankets off of me. He wakes me up asking if I have to go to the bathroom and he tells me I might as well, seeing as "you are awake anyways." He says "see you tomorrow night" as he leaves the room and the sunrise starts to pull back the curtains. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beau's Mom 1,132 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 I participate in clinical trials to further the knowledge base of what works for PD, as a way of giving back to the experts who have helped me on my journey, and as a way to make a little extra cash.
