PARKINSON'S--THAT FICKLE DISEASE

fickle |ˈfikəl|
adjective
changing frequently, esp. as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection : Web patrons are a notoriously fickle lot, bouncing from one site to another on a whim | the weather is forever fickle.
DERIVATIVES
fickleness |ˈfɪkəlnəs| noun
fickly |ˈfik(ə)lē| |ˈfɪk(ə)li| adverb
ORIGIN Old English ficol [deceitful] .

PD(Parkinson's Disease) oh yes, it can be fickle, unpredictable. Just ask someone who travels down the road with PD.
You say you don't know anyone with PD. Well I bet you do, even if you are not aware of it. It has been written that a person diagnosed with PD more than likely was afflicted eight or ten years before being told, "You Have Parkinson's Disease (that's not what you want to hear).
PD is more prevalent than most people realize. Young Onset P D is a growing concern. I was fortunate to not fall into that category and most fortunate to be slow at progressing since my diagnosis in 2000.
My journey with PD has taught me many things and introduced me to people that are amazing in their life and times with PD, patients, caregivers and medical professionals and researchers.
Yet, here we are, shaking the world and still no cure in sight. Hopefully the funds for research and care will not be cut in these turbulent times.

Journeying through uncharted waters, better days ahead.

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it

I am now 59. With the new herbal medicine for Parkinson I purchased from  Multivitamincare . org  was my only way to get rid of my PD,the herbal formula effectively reversed my condition and alleviated all my symptoms, people are suffering from this Parkinson disease due to lack of information.
