THE BEGINNING OF THIS JOURNEY WAS A COLD AND WINTRY DAY IN JANUARY,2000.
AFTER months (or years) of people asking my wife, "how is Howard??" type questions, and there was a variety of them. We decided to talk to our G.P..Now that we opened up a discussion, the obvious next step was to visit the nice scanning lab at the hospital. That done, we were referred to a neurologist.
We didn't want to be there.
We didn't like him.
We certainly did not like to hear him say, after only a few minutes, YOU HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASE".
WELL, that was enough to finish a stormy day. We didn't think he knew what he was talking about.
TO BE CONTINUED.
THAT REALLY WAS A GREAT SHAKE-UP.

After was running around from doctor to doctor before we finally get rid of her PD ,at age 74 my mother noticed that her handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster as well. She also noticed a small tremor in her left hand. The doctor went over her different symptoms and he suspected she either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson 's disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing she was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 3 years ago. She take Sinimet four times a day to control the symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech,This year, our family doctor started her on multivitamincare. org PD Herbal mixture, 15 weeks into treatment she improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors.
