I was reading the discussions and found them very profound, amusing, sad, and full of questions.
what does a person with pd look like? What am I supposed to do now?
why am I so tired all the time? why do I get constipated? What meds should I take? And on and on and on.
Answers:
A person with pd look like all of us who have it. It looks different on everyone. It makes you beautiful in many ways.
You are supposed to live every day as if it were you last. Loving God and doing the best you can with what you've been given.
You are tired because most of us don't sleep very well now, and it catches up with you.
You get constipated because you can't poop.
You take the meds your trusted dr gives you and pray they work. Remember I said trusted if you don't have that trust change.
On me pd looks like a woman who: has white hair that was originally auburn and turned white at a very young age. Very long eyelashes or so I have been told many times. So I work that whenever possible. I bit plump now, but in my day had a very appealing figure. As my husband says Marilyn Monroe had nothing on me. A clothes horse with way way too many clothes and shoes. A mother who doted on her sons and now grandchildren. A hard worker who did my best at almost every thing I tried. An athlete until the last few years. A woman who tries to love my neighbor and be the best christian that I can be. A wife who adores my husband. That is what this person with pd looks like. Just your normal everyday person that you pass in the store all the time and you would never know unless I let you.
WOW ! You sound like you were a "knockout". I bet your husband had to keep you on a leash. LOL You also sound like a woman that is still beautiful inside as well as out. Has compassion, caring and a will to live everyday to the fullest. You sound like a person that anyone would be proud to know and call friend. I am glad you are mine. Blessings and Love, pat

The part about trusted doctors - if you can't then trust change - was something I needed to hear this morning as I've been thinking that over for the last few months, now I know what to do. Thanks Sass. Isn't it grand when you see an answer to prayer as I have been praying about what I should do about my doctor who I can no longer trust. Hugs, Jan
