Caregiver	My PWP	About Me
Mdgirl51		My name is Cathy and my husband is 42 yrs old with PD. Diagnosed in 2005 with the usual syptoms of loss of arm swing and tremor on right side. He still manages to work full time and continues to do the best he can. Although it saddens me, I am here through thick and thin The above was written about a year ago. PD is starting to become scarey now. Hubby doesn't seem to be doing too well these days. His PD has progressed alot in just the past 6 months. I see this is going to be a longggggggg haul!! God give ME the strength!!

carolm	poplar	My husband, poplar, was just diagnosed with PD after two open heart surgeries in the last 6 months. We are both 55 and have lived with good health and much activity, both practicing yoga every day up until the surgeries. We are more inclined to natural medicines and life style corrections rather than the meds, but of course will do what ever it takes to improve the situation. I will share what we find helps.

stillworking73		My husband is happy to still be working as a Computer Aided Draftsman, a career he began just over 10 years ago after he closed a home based business. He loves drawing all day and feels the challenge of using both sides of his brain helps the Parkinson's he developed just about 5 years ago. His main symptom remains just a tremor in his right hand. He considers himself very lucky to be generally in better health than most people his age and focuses on enjoying his life. He loves reading, his projects and dancing. He is quick with a complement, a laugh and a helping hand to others.

rlrich		I'm the caregiver for my wife who has "Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration", which is a very rare disease that's similar to Parkinson's in many ways. But yet very different at the same time. Only one person in 600,000 has this illness. It can only be definatively diagnosed after death by doing a autopsy of the brain. Useful for the medical community but not much hope for my wife and me.
annabellelee		My husband began having symptoms of PD about 9 years ago, and was diagnosed about 4 years ago. He's now 83 and moderately active. He walks with the typical PD shuffle, posture stooped forward, and balance is sometimes a problem. His speech is soft and, though he's alert and able to converse, words elude him or come out wrong (often but not always). Shrugging into a sweater is difficult and buttons an every day obstacle. He sleeps alot, and I wonder if it's partly because of his meds. Amantadine, Stalevo and the Exelon patch. (& meds for high blood pressure, and CA prostate, both under control
