I have bern recently diagnosed with parkinsons .... not a big deal to everyone here but to me, it is.
Parkinsons, is not a one size fits all kinda dusease. If you meet one Parkinson's patient, you have only met one. .... brain diseases attack differently;
Cognitively and mobility wise.
If you met me you would think 🤔 how can he think? I also have cataracts, making things worse.
Anyway, to give insight into how Parkinsons has affected me, I will share my experience. Speech, balance and mobility struggles continue. Cognitive functions, ok. I am a. Former ski, surf and jiu-jitsu instructor
You, at this time are thinking either, poor guy or who cares, besides me. I hope to shed light on my experience. Maybe just maybe, there is another person out there with similar issues.; watching your life diminish before your eyes is not easy for anyone but it gives me hope for a cure/treatment. Thank God, for family an̈d friends support! It gives me hope.
Adios ¡
