Parkinson's Disease.

garinda · 03-10-2006, 15:50

I feel like I've been banging on about it too much of late, but I've had a few pm's from people who are indirectly affected by Parkinson's Disease, which I've answered to the best of my ability. For anyone else who may need information or advice, the Michael J. Fox site gives a lot of answers in a clear and easy to understand way.

I'll shut up now.

If this isn't the place for the link please feel free to move it somewhere more suitable.

Its something that affects a lot more people than we think and therefore can be discussed without any problem in my view. No need to move it.

There can't be any harm in you discussing it, far better than you suffer alone, from what I remember of these posts you've always had encouragement and not 'for gods sake shut up', so why not talk about it? (there are probably some not so gobby as you, but, also suffering, that get their spirit's lifted from you talking about it)

I've never had anything but support (and some cracking jokes) from everyone concerned with Accy Web, for which I'll be eternally grateful. In fact I was singing your lots praises to the man I went to talk to yesterday who has PD.

I wasn't appologising, it just seems that I've talked about it a lot recently, and I don't want to be a one trick pony...unless I can have a feathered head-dress and prance about in a circus tent.

Go for it Dr. Rindy, I'll set you a temporary surgery up in the broom cupboard of the Calm Room, just remember though when you tell your patients to go behind the screen and strip off,

You ain't Supposed to join them!

I certainly don't mind you mentioning something which is a very important part of who you are.

I read Michael J Fox's book a couple of years ago and I was very moved by it. He, like you, appears to have coped with amazing strength and perspective.

As I told you by pm, I don't mind being the face of a disease...just as long as it isn't venereal.

Thanks rindy you're a star, I understand it a lot more now. I now understand the stem cell research stuff more too.

Thanks. I'll take the compliment...before you read the post were I was a bit rude to you earlier, re:Poppy.

Madhatter · 04-10-2006, 04:11

The compliment stands no matter what you say in the other thread. Just cos You dissagree with me doesn't make you a bad rindy. If you want spanking ask chav.

Yeaaaaaa ill second that.

Interestingly I've just found out from Wikipedia, that fellow sufferers include Hitler, Terry Thomas, and Salvador Dali.

Autocratic, an artistic bent, and a desire to be funny.

I think I can see a pattern here.

hitler had parkingsons ?

so it is totaly fesable that he only wrote an order to kill 1 jew but the parkingsons made him add on a few extra zeros when his pen shook
