HM1 US Navy Retired. Jokingly my friends thought I was having the (D.T'S) delirious tremors after a night of partying. My time as a hospital corpsman prepared me to put on my game face and suck up the pain. The Marines Semper Gumby attitude along with "It only hurts when I laugh" attitude is part of my learning to live with Parkinson's. Don't forget the home front of friends and family because no person is an island to themselves. They need your love just as they love you.
