    Christmas Eve is only a few sleeps away … have you finished your holiday shopping yet? If not, check out this flash briefing of a column by Mary Beth Skylis about gift ideas for people with PD.

    Were there any items Mary Beth talked about that you’re hoping to receive as a gift or planning to give to someone else? Are there other gift ideas you would suggest?

    The best gift is no gift at all.  I was diag in 2000, and this year, we only gave presents to the small ones.   We had a honey-baked ham (served cold), broccoli slaw and everyone brought a side to share…all Paleo friendly, per my request.  No drama, just a great time together, celebrating the day the way I believe it was intended.  Best Christmas ever, without stress.  PS I believe stress is a big factor in symptom exacerbation, and nutrition is in my top 5 ways to slow progression.
