About mamaw

I am going to see my Doctor on April 14, 08. I am having pains in my legs and body that feel like electric shocks, like when the Doctor puts that electric thing to your leg and it shocks you a little bit. My pain is more severe than that. I have cramps in my feet and legs I know they hurt real bad, I don't know what to do for them so I rub them. When I was younger I loved to bowl, now what interest me is going to Church with my daughter and her three girls.

More About mamaw

What I needed to say is that I was seeing Doctor NGUYEN a Neurologist, but I quit seeing

him and started seeing Doctor Irene Scaltsas a Neurologist.  The reason for the change

is when I would go to see him,  he would rush me in and out and never got to ask any

question, and when I would ask him what I had to look forward to all he would say is

there was nothing to worry about for the next 20 or 30 years.   That was alright but I still

needed to know what the disease would do in the short term like 5 or 10 years.   He

would send me out from a lady that was on health team what it does.   I think that each

person with Parkinson's Disease progresses at their own rate that everyone is not the

same some go faster than others.  I don't think you can judge one person by another.
