Yesterday a co-worker told me that her very good friend was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s and was not handling it very well….did I have any advise.
Yesterday Alan Alda announced that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and was asked if he had any advise.
First, let me make sure that you are quite clear that each person with Parkinson’s could have some of the same symptoms and then could also have quite different symptoms…..so as I give advise, I give it from where I am at with this disease.
GET UP AND GET OUT…..What exactly is stopping you?? Don’t allow Parkinson’s get the better of you. You have just got a new normal….adjust accordingly.
You will have bad days and good days. If you allow Parkinson’s to be the cause of a bad day….it will be a painful, depressing, anxiety ridden awful day. I have learned that I can either sink into that misery OR trick Parkinson’s by living my best new normal life.
Let Parkinson’s be the reason to have adventure everyday…….this was mine thismorning……
5.30am….backpack, coffee-to-go, ipad, music….shoes on…..UP & Out…….
Music: Don’t Stop Me. (Queen)…..sure to get you going.
