My Turn: Hiding Parkinson's disease became her worst symptom

My Turn: Hiding Parkinson's disease became her worst symptom

Politics......

You know when you hear that politics are in everything, it is sometimes hard to believe, but I have found out the sad truth. Ever since I chose to start a Parkinson's program, I have found that national pd foundations are not very excited to help.....in fact they will passive aggressively try to trip you. It is ok though, unlike these individual's, I have not forgotten why I am in the field.....to help people struggling with Parkinson's. Hope they get on the same page soon,it seems like such a waste of energy.

Dance Fever

I have been trying to try things in my life that keep me moving and bring me happiness.  So my next adventure was east coast swing dancing.  I started lessons about 4 weeks ago and let me tell you.....when I dance, it does not feel like I have Parkinson's.  It feels like I can just enjoy the movement and music and forget about the fact that I have a neurological disorder.  I know I might not always have this luxury as I my health declines, but for now, I strap on my dance shoes, and enjoy the moment.
