I have started to watch a presentation today about Parkinson’s and emotions in the early years. I found that I could easily identify with the three people with the diagnosis who were on the panel. They talked about feelings of disbelief, denial and devastation. I know that I was expecting the diagnosis in many ways,Continue reading “Parkinson’s and emotionality”

OMG… I’m a grey haired Granny with a stick!
I will admit that I am feeling old for my years at the moment. The combo of Parkies and the offending lower limb issue – non Parkies related – is certainly making me feel my age and then some! I was at the supermarket today getting a few bits and pieces. I parked in theContinue reading “OMG… I’m a grey haired Granny with a stick!”
It’s not just ‘the shakes’
I had my niece visiting from Australia the other day and she came round with her Mum for a catchup with myself, my husband and my daughter and her girls. I was in the kitchen and she came in for a chat. She made a comment – which by the way I appreciate – thatContinue reading “It’s not just ‘the shakes’”
Parkies is a part of me – whether I like it or not!
I was talking to my granddaughters in the spa pool this evening as they are staying for a couple of nights. It has become a place to get away from devices and talk about things. We talk about all manner of things and some of the discussions we have – especially with one of theContinue reading “Parkies is a part of me – whether I like it or not!”
Doing it tough…
Things aren’t going swimmingly for me at the moment. Work is tough at the best of times, but the last two weeks have been particularly difficult. I have come home in tears more often than not and it’s not a nice feeling. I mostly think that I am handling life with Parkinson’s, arthritis, bad kneeContinue reading “Doing it tough…”

I have always found words to be a powerful thing. The way we use our words can have the power toContinue reading “Should we ‘should?’”

What is a friend? What makes one person a friend and another not? As someone who really does have few friends, I believe it is better to have a few quality friendships you can rely on than a broad network of friends who may disappear at the first signs of adversity. Family can be friends too.Continue reading “What is a friend?”
Is it me? Or is it him? Who has the memory issues?
It is approximately 2.5 years since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I feel that I haven’t had a noticeable decline in symptoms in that time. However, there have been a few things happening recently that make me wonder if I am starting to have some cognitive issues. There have been a few instances overContinue reading “Is it me? Or is it him? Who has the memory issues?”
Past lives, history and conditioned responses…
It is fair to say that I have not had a very settled life at times. I have been married three times, with the first marriage being the only one where I have had children. My first marriage ended for various reasons, amongst which is that basically I think we married too young to knowContinue reading “Past lives, history and conditioned responses…”
