    About Me

    I'm 64, happily married for 43 years with 7 kids & 21 grandkids. Like most we have some problems, I have parkinsons, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, with 6 months to a year to live, it's been one year. He's retired but keeps busy at home, while I work. (though I'd rather be home with him.) Life is wonderful and constantly full of surprises, some bad, some good. We make the best of it, give thanks for all we have, and don't dwell on the negative. With all its struggles life is grand, enjoy it.

    Interests

    Spending time with my family. Crocheting, working in the yard, organizing pictures, sewing gifts for grandkids. I enjoy trying many things but not proficient in any. Love playing games.

    • Close Parkinson's Disease

      I have had parkinsons for 7 years +. My Mother had parkinsons before passing away and my sister and cousin on my mothers side have it. Is it hereditary? I am now in the process of finding out if I am in the small percentage with hereditary parkinsons.

      Treatments

      Mirapex Working / Worked
      it works as long as I take it with sinemet, but it makes me sleepy. I have taken several quick naps at work and driving, so I take it at night.
      Neupro Patch Not Working
      the slow release sinemet work better. I may not have tried it long enough but my walking became much more difficult
      Sinemet Working / Worked
      It is working as long as I take mirapex also.
    • Close Mesothelioma
