I truly enjoyed your story, Mark! There were many similarities in our experiences with PD. I am older than you, in my mid-seventies, so experiencing the aging process personified, right along with diminished dopamine reserves and getting accustomed to having Parkinsons. I keep busy with exercise and quilting which has been a saving grace! I stay both busy & productive, and hope to be able to continue filling up my life while enjoying my retirement. Additionally, I lead a support group (WomenHeart of Asheville), for women at risk for or living with heart disease, as I am a cardiac survivor as well. Wishing you continued success in conquering PD and enjoying your life’s journey.

Thanks for sharing. It is amazing what one can achieve by not allowing Mr Parkinsons to take completely over. I am just waiting for a knee replacement to be done then I am back to walk everyday and stay positive. Mark, you are an insperation.
