Living with parkinsons


by: Beattle on Wed, Jun 25 2008

i was diagonsed with parkinsons disease when I was 32 and I am now 46. It has been a long hard battle in which I am slowly losing. I have four children and one grandchild, in which I try to stay active with. It has become hard to walk and stand still without losing my balance, my speech has become hard to understand, the sleep attachs are awful. My daughter plays sports and I cannot stay awake, but the parents all know me and understand. I cannot drive far because of the sleep attacks, it is not safe. The medicine that I take causes sleep attacks and they can be serve. Why can’t there be a drug without sideaffects. My life has become so very difficult that I don’t know how long I can fight this battle. If I didn’t have my children and grandchild I don’t know how I could go on with this very depressing disease. They need to a better meidicine to stop this disease not slow it down.
