Hello Loretta
If you go into hobbies, i have done a section on how to post pictures on hear,if you need any help some one will be willing, as all my pupils:D,:rolleyes:are now experts
There is a lot to read on hear, when some of us joined it was very small, so we found it easy, now even we have difficulty trying to catch up, have you been in the archives at the very bottom of the page, just ask any questions, and someone will answer
Have you seen a speech therapist , they where, a great help for Jim with his swallowing, do you choke when swallowing,if so you may need to thicken, some things, in the UK we have a powder called thick and easy, it thickens but tasteless,have your blood pressure checked, as Jim has low blood pressure, and made him light headed, which was some of the reasons , he would fall
I'm retiring age in a few weeks, but going to go a little longer, i only work 3 days a week 9am-1pm
look forward to seeing pictures

Heather and Drew, thank you, I have gone into hobbies and can't seem to find your sections about photobucket....I went to the website and found plenty of photobucket...which one ...no hurry ...I am having a bad day today accepting my diagnosis..I am at the early stages , reason why I and neurologist decided to not go on meds till later. I am reading a lot of info from this forum regarding COQ10...maybe I will try ! Is headpain(backof head), being in a fog,lightheadedness,shoulders and neck pain and heavy palpitations in the chest when resting symptoms of PD? I have an appointment for a second opinion..what questions are important to ask....with PD , we all have different results/progressions...just like all of you, I am very independent and the thought of losing that just kills me. I just took care of my mother who passed away 1 year ago, she was disabled with a severe stroke, but able to live at home with our help till she died...It was hard to see her that way and I do not want to be in that situation....I am not looking forward to this journey!
Allright, Drew, you mention to live each day to the fullest, have laughter , but I cant seem to do that right now....sorry!
there will be better days for me....but not today ....:(

I don't know what to say Loretta. We all get blue days as long as every day is not a blue day. If you have a close friend talk to him/her about how you feel. A problem shared....... it may help. Do not think too far ahead. I will think about what you have written and come back with something positive. Just need time for formulate things in my mind.
Have the best day you can,

Hi Loretta
Well my little spring Chick, never fear (limited) ltd is here, I'm one of the forums additions !
I'm a young Gazelle with Parker's, dancing along in my red tutu & high heeled shoes wearing my purple hat !
I'm totally & utterly sane on occasions
I understand your concerns regarding your future.
Did you know depression is 1 of the symptoms of Parker's, I must have been swinging off the chandelier prior to pd. I have a 6 yr old son who is a gift from heaven and my Husband who is my soul mate.
Girl you are in turmoil with yourself but it's understandable , 1 step at a time or else you'll fall off your high heel's.
You can't turn the clock back but it doesn't mean you have to take the battery out to make it stop.
Iv'e got young onset Parkers having been diagnosed prior to 40yrs of age. 6 yrs on at 45yrs i'm still working full time , run 2 little hobby businesses of selling jewellery & floral arrangements, run a home & care for my family.
Up until 2 yrs ago I was doing bank nursing on my day's off to keep my nursing registration up.
For the last 6 yrs I've been having diffuculties with my present employer but very recently I've had to liaise with my union solicitor whilst dealing with an internal grievance procedure in order to keep my job. Plus getting moved to temporary job from temporary job.
Sept 07 I was diagnosed with dyscalculia a form of dylexia with numbers
In February 08 i was misdiagnosed with cancer and on April 25th operated on for a rare condition. I'm waiting for another op if the 1st hasn't worked.
But Loretta you know who has been the understanding support for me apart from my friends & family. This forum yes, my respect for my friends Drew his wife Elaine, Heather formally known to me as My Angel with her halo sque whif (slipping off he he ) Margie my spring bottle of red shiraz from New York, Susan my lake district , Sue my Aussie friend aka suzie q, pogo, filo1960,Canadian club , Tinkerbell my fairy, gail, bunny, Bruce, Heather p & everyone else on this forum.
I reckon you go with the flow and do whatever floats your boat.
I'm not courageous or special but I know the folk on this forum care enough to make me feel I am.
faith , hope and charity was written to describe us with Parkers & the carer's.
Faith in each other
Hope we don't fall too far off our high heeled shoes, unless its alcohol related ! whilst waiting for our cure.
Charity because they'd give their last breath to assist anyone.
We are lucky for knowing we have each and every one of us who understand & give guidance , strength & laughter.
Now your depressed about my life you forgot how bad your feeling ha ha I knew I'd make you feel lucky !
Keep smiling

Hi Loretta,
My wife Elaine and I have been discussing your problem i.e. the shock and realisation of what you have. Let's not kid ourselves - shock horror - nobody knows what causes this and for the moment nobody has a cure but watch this space.
There are 2 ways to approach this problem.
1. Give in and feel sorry for yourself - go into denial and take no meds. Fine, NOT, your life will be a misery and is this what you want? I don't think so.
2. Be positive. Fight Parkies. You can win - really you can. Take advice from the medical fratenity as long as it is positive. If they come over negative go for a second opinion. This may be difficult to get your head around but a positive attitude works wonders.
No person has ever died from Parkies only with it. So that is a good start, Yeh?
Depending how Parkies affects you there are meds out there to help you. All you need is meds to help you counteract how it affects your body now. Trial and error to get the meds right for you. The future? Let that sort itself out. If you worry how you may be in the future puts huge pressure on you and that is the last thing you need. It will only accelerate your condition so forget it.
If and when something else kicks in then take more advice and deal with it. Back to trial and error on meds to deal with the new problem.
Situations to avoid:-
STRESS/ANXIETY. Below the belt blows. Avoid at all costs. Your symptoms will only worsen and accelarate your down turn. Life is too short for this.
THE FUTURE. You can drive yourself crazy thinking about how you are going to be in the future or what is round the corner. Live for today - period!
DEPRESSION. Very common in Parkies. If it swamps you get meds to cope. If you do not then symptoms get worse.
Now the sunny side:-
HUMOUR. Essential. Where ever you are and whatever you're doing see the funny side of life. Try and be in the company of people who make you smile/giggle/laugh. Very important. Don't know anybody like that? I'm sure there is a programme on TV that will and try and share it with someone. Makes it infective laughing with someone.
MEDS. Medication not working? Talk to a medic you trust and increase/change meds to make your quality of life better.
THIS FORUM. I know you are new to the forum so if you want to look back to what has been said on a given subject check out the small heading with numbers i.e "1,2,3,4 latest". If there is something of interest for you then you can reply to that imput and hopefully get feed back.
Heather is the expert on getting photos onto the forum. Contact her directly and she will be able to give you advice on inputing such on the forum.
I do hope that my ramblings have been helpful to you but if you have any questions please do hesitate to ask - anytime.
Have the best day that you can,
Drew

Hi, ltd-addition
My mind is whirling trying to imagine your red tutu,purple hat and high heel shoes ( red,too?). Your right, by the time I finished reading your note, I was in tears, and I just can't imagine all those things happening to you. I know that I am going to have lots of friends in this forum...you and others will carry me through this and hopefully I can do the same for you and others. Yesterday, I was feeling really down, but today I am ok and almost my old self....everyone in this forum is remarkable! The laughter and care that comes across...is phenomenal ! I will have bad and good days ( more of good , I hope),family / friends and the " forum " will guide me.Now if I can only learn how to do the "photobucket"....yuck!!!!!!
I have two children 38 (girl)and 35(boy) years old...2
grandchildren 13(girl) and 7(boy) years old .Grandkids live in Chicago. I have a significant other of 26 years, retired last year
after 30 years, was planning to work parttime this summer, now I don't know if anyone will hire me ! Fred and I like to travel and go rock/gem hunting...so we will till I can't ! Ill bet your jewelry and floral arrangements are beautiful !
Hope all goes well with you...so no more surgery ! Your 6 year old must keep you and your husband busy !
Thank You for lifting my spirits up....ltd-addition!

Loretta, Glad to here you are having a better day. The bad days will come and go, but it can't be stressed enough that a poitive attitude is the most important thing. When you are having a bad day, as we all do, this group can help you through it. They will let you vent, acknowledge that you have a right to feel the way you do, and then offer you their collective wisdom and insightful advice. If that doesn't get you moving in the right direction, they offer you chocolate. Where else can you get free advice and chocolate?

Drew said a very important thing, which i hope if you remember nothing else you remember this
NO ONE DIES OF PD
This is so true, 12 years ago they gave Jim 7 Years , so i asked his neurologist since when have you been god
