Recently, an old friend and former co-worker crossed paths with me. She was diagnosed with MS a few years ago, well before my PD diagnosis. She is doing so well , it was really encouraging to see her. We share many of the same challenges and struggles. I am hoping we can stay in touch but you know how hard that is to do.....Anyway, hats off to you girl ! I was inspired by your courage, positive outlook and shared struggles.
Under the new friend category- I attended a support group for Young Onset PD folks and am very happy to have found them. These folks are more willing to discuss their experiences and real life challenges than the older retired type support group I had been attending. Quite a bunch of characters as well I might add ! Am looking forward to getting to know them better as time goes on....
Old friend - Dan (PD PLUS ME) stopped in to read my last post. I can never get over how well Dan describes PD and its symptoms and effects on our lives. If you haven't done so, you should click on his link listed on the left.
Next subject - Cholesterol meds . Family doc put me on Zocor or tried to about 8 months ago. I read the side effects and never filled the Rx-
On a routine visit 6 months later he shamed me into trying it for a month. Turns out it nearly ruined me. GEEZ- does anyone out there take this stuff and function normally ? If so, let me know !
Stopped taking it two days ago and feel like a new man !
All for now- take care !
