Re: Possible PD

[Jay Orr <jborr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several days ago on this list, a man commented that his wife had had PD for
30 years and was now having trouble getting around.  Each of us is
different.  You may be like her.  If you have PD, as I do, take your
medicines and keep going.  I've had it 5 years and am going strong.  Lots of
people don't know I have it.  You are a long way from a disabling time, I
suspect.  If you let it get you down, you will get there sooner.  This I can
guarantee.  I've seen it happen to others.  Keep moving, working, doing the
things you like to do.  I know you have to work through the verdict.  But,
you'll be fine for a long time.
If I can be of any help, let me know.
