They say laughter is the best medicine. I put it behind the 4 legged therapists. I always look for the positive and laugh as much as possible. I think it slows the enemy down. I have found anger brings out parkinsons. Let me give you a laugh. I ghave been trying to figure out how I can get back into running. The problem is I have no sense of balance. The other night I dreamed I was running in a marathon---I dream big---and when I looked down I was using a walker with wheels. Now wouldn't that be a sight to behold. I use to be a runner. When I was assigned to a post in Italy a group of us use to run with the locals. They would have 100 K runs periodically. I did try and the furthest I made it was 50K running from Fiencze to Firenze.
I also tried out for SETAF. Setaf held try outs and there were 2 of us who won and we were invited to Germany for the final tryouts. I had to decline do to lack of staff. If only..... Well back to reallity.
I wonder sometimes if i had contimued to run if I could have beaaten Parkinson. Exercise and diet seem to be the weapon to use.
I see a bright future for science. I had the pleasure of a Highschool student doing some computer work for me and she also did some work in Micorbiology. Plating cultures. She graduates this year and plans to become a biologist. She has it together and knows where she is going,brains and beauty. the total package.
Thanks lovedogs1955 for responding to the mother.View Thread

Wouldn't that be something if meningitis cured PD.
By the way vent all you want and if your husband wants to join that would be fine also. We all need some where to let it out and this is the ideal place to do it. Those who are new to PD have an idea of what is to come and sometimes you get advice that you did not ask for. Then there is Dr Stacy who is a big help.
lovedogs1955 I know you are feeling like someone has kicked you all over but there is a post on this page from a woman whose son I think is terminally ill but has not told heer everything. I am not the most tactful person and my response may have been a little on the cold side. Could you take a look and respond.View Thread

I am not a doctor but from the information you have given I suspect your son may be terminally ill. Usually a person goes to a hospice to recieve care if they are terminal or critcal. The idea is to make the person as comfortable as possible. You need to have a heart to heart talk with your son. Let him know how much you care for him and how worried you are. If it turns out he is terminal spend as much time with him as you can. Talk to your priest, find a local support group. The doctor should be able to give a list of agencies or support groups.
I wish I could help. My prays are with you and your son

I wondered why you had not posted.
I am so glad you are recovering. I know your recovery has been hell but hang in there.
As far as the problem with urinating I have not experienced that problem yet. Parkinson's attacks everything so I would not be surprised it is the culprit.
I think this is a Dr Stacy question.
