Cee, I see muser found you. I told her about you and that she would find
you two had something in common. I told her what a great writer you are, and so is she, and that I thought she might enjoy getting to know you.
Sleep well, sweet lady, and take care. God bless.

Muser-
You bet we're gonna lick this insideous beast. I call it (him) Old Man Parky. I, too, have some positive Parkinson's articles on file for publishing here, sometime. Just keep that positive attitude, pretty lady; that's half the battle!

While Max is down here in Grand Cayman, I can't participate in any
research studies.
I feel like PeeDee is getting ahead of me when I am not involved in something to try and stop the little #%*+#@%$ in his tracks! I have given P.D. a persona - PeeDee, a nasty little bully type
w does mean things, and plays bad tricks. I have a few written, but am not yet ready to post. I will tell you that the little S.O.B.(sweet ol' boy) will not be getting the best of me every time in these stories!!
Especially now that I can find such positive back-up from you in your Blogs, CeeMarie...we'll have that bad little boy on the run!

Thanks for your comments, Muser!
I had Deep Brain Surgery (DBS) to the Substantia Nigra, (STN), the area they target in the brain, that seems to lead to the largest amount of benefit. They did this on both sides of my brain. My main complaint with PD was tremor, rigidity and slowness. I had a good response to Sinemet for about 4 years, and then started to experience off times. I couldn't tolerate most of the agonists on the market. I was getting pretty desperate as I was running out of options. I was either having episodes of too much medicine (dyskinesia) or medication failure, the life of a Parkie. I had it done 6 years ago when it was still experimental. It was worth letting them drill holes in my head and giving up a year of my life as they fiddled around programming the electrical charges going to the brain.

Dear SF,
Would you believe I learned that one in AMWAY? Sure ways to fail is to tell your family or next door neighbor - they'll tell you all the reasons why something won't work. So you need to exercise at a gym where people know what it's like to be fat before they were fit, for example. It does work! Go for it!!

Dear PF,
How exciting; MM got me started on following your progress. It's what so many of us wannabees are all hoping to do. You're a great example, I think! Thanks so much for following my story!

yes, we choose the friends we make, don't we? So we choose the people who
should be surrounding us. Well said!
