How is it possible it has been 3 years since I noticed the first symptoms of Parkinson's? How has life changed? I don't drive far and avoid freeways. Aches and pains I would have assigned to much later in life. Sleep problems that are better sometimes and worse others. Naps. People staring at my shaky right arm. Medications with side effects worse than the disease--so me and the Neurologist agree being able to conduct as normal a life as possible is the current goal. No longer working. Writing more, but taking it in bits. Closer to friends and family.
Priorities seem clearer. It's not really all that bad. Consider a closed head injury or Cancer. I'll take the Parkinson's.
