Beautiful! A trip to Italy is pretty high on my bucket list. My parents were there last year. Have you lived in Reggio Emilia your whole life, Claudio?

[Marlyne Wilder]

In 1974, my husband drove us from Obergimpern, Germany to Rome, Italy for a long weekend. In the Army, my husband only had a 4-day break. One day to drive to Rome, 2 days sightseeing, and 1 day driving back.  In 2009, we returned to Germany, staying at Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and my husband surprised me on Mother’s Day by taking me to Venice, Italy.  Such a beautiful country!

Hello,  I live in Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean.

That’s awesome, Amelie! I have a friend whose husband is from Mauritius so I know a little bit about it. Have you lived there all your life? What is the best part of living there?

[Amelie]

Hi Ally,  Yes I have been living here all my life.  My husband is French.  The best part living on an island is the beach, and the fruits in summer I would say – mangoes and lychees……

[Ally]

Yum! I love mangoes. I was just in Trinidad and I had the pleasure of enjoying some very fresh and ripe mangoes picked right from our neighbour’s tree. It was such a treat!

Chicago is one of my favourite places to visit! Have you lived in that area all your life, Robert?

[Robert]

I have lived here for 42 years.   My father was career military so I lived in many places as a youth.  I attended 7 different schools during 12 years of public schooling.  Thanks for asking.

 

[Ally]

I can kind of relate! My mom is pastor and we moved around a lot when I was a kid. I think it made me more resilient and outgoing, although I definitely disliked it when I was a child. I’m reluctant about moving now, but more because of the expense/inconvenience. I really like exploring new places and meeting new people. Did you enjoy following your father’s career?

[laura seymour]

I live in Silverton, Oregon and have done so for 12 years. Before that, I lived in Michigan (since birth) – Detroit, Dearborn.

Welcome! Prague is on my bucket list — it looks like a beautiful city. 🙂

[Jarmila]

Ally, Thank you. Prague is really beautiful city. It should be nice to meet you here.

[laura seymour]

I’m an only child, so when my parents died, I really didn’t have anyone close to me except my husband.  My daughter and her family lived in Oregon, so we decided watching videos of our granddaughter, we’d like to be there to be part of her life.  Things fell into place rather easily, like it was meant to be.  I guess it was, because my daughter is fighting a second round of stomach cancer, so I feel so much better being here than so far away in Michigan.  Now with my PD diagnosis, I feel even better living here.  The PNW is so beautiful and people are so nice!  I am sure I would have gone into a deeper depression back in Michigan.

I have a question, too.  Where do I ask it?  Thanks!

[Anonymous]

laura, i am so sorry about your daughters cancer.  I am glad you are living close to her now so you both can lean on each other..

Thanks Gene and your welcome – Im part of Bastyr’s online study re diet and parkinsons but – I did not know they had an event this summer – I saw one of their talks done in Australia tho recently on youtube – it was fantastic – I believe they are doing what im doing as ive sent most of my info to them but don’t get anything back – lol – I started doing it 7-8 years ago and at that time was reading research on the biome and its contribution to autoimmune disease & mitochondrial disfunction which is nearly all disease including parkinsons but do not think many folks were working along those lines back then – hope you are doing well

Hi Jean. No, I don’t believe my symptoms worsen with the cold weather (its very cold here today and tomorrow).  The progression of my symptoms is something that frustrates me; some days I think there is progression in one symptom or another, but then I really don’t know. It’s only by focusing on my condition over time that I can see those symptoms worsen.

[Anonymous]

paul, temperature extremes, hot or cold, stress and emotions wreak havoc with my symptoms.  progression of symptoms is tough to gauge for me as well..

Both have been great except the drive to the city each day over the past 45 years has been a killer. I am now fully retired, at home, and  waiting for a new medicine  or breakthru in our disease,

I m disgusted with the fact that I take 15 tablets a day of a medicine  that is  50 years old.

[Louis Comitini]

Hi My name is Louis Comitini from Hudson, Quebec, Canada. 58 yrs old

I was diagnosed since 2018 at 55 but as most of us, probably had Parkinson’s well before, at least 2 years.

My left leg was dragging and my left arm was still when walking. Some slurred speech then and still once in a while especially when my anxiety kicks in. I have neck and lower back pain daily.  Neck pain is recent.  I take Levodopa like most of us and started with 3 pills a day now up to 4 to a max of 4.5 a day after 3 years 3 months.  I also take Azilect ( a Generic). For my anxiety I take Sertraline 100mg, seems to help a bit. I work out 6 days a week for aprox an hour a day.  Boxing, cardio (jog/run mix) Doing the best I can to try to slow this frustrating to put it mildly disease from hell! 🙂 Debating whether to retire or not??? Pretty stressful job and it seems whenever there is the smallest amount of stress ALL my symptoms come alive instantly and stay for way too long of a time.  Changed my diet and lost 40 pounds.  I would love to hear some advice or listen to anyone who wants to share positive news!

I wish you all Happy Holidays and for the New year some type of a cure or something to stop or slow down this disease so we can all see more of our Grand Children!

For the previous 12 years I lived in Klamath Falls, OR.

For 30 years, or so, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area (Mountain View, Los Altos Hills, San Carlos, Sunnyvale and Scotts Valley) with two major stays in London, England (1 year) & Flemington NJ USA (2 years) and numerous trips to Rouen & Paris, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, West Germany, Austria, Italy, Ireland, Bangkok, Thailand, Denver, Longmont & Colorado Springs, CO, San Diego CA, Portland/Hillsborough OR, Seattle WA, Minneapolis MN, Detroit, MI, and, of course my motherland, Greece, with repeating trips to Singapore (over 2 years, cumulative).

Prior to this I lived in NY City, except for four years (1959-1963) in Boston/Cambridge & Framingham, MA, for college.

I was born in Athens Greece, in 1941, and lived there the first thirteen years of my life, when my family emigrated to the USA.

Eu moro em Braganca cidade pequenina, mas muito bonita no nordeste de Portugal.Muito perto de Espanha. Aqui não se passa nada, tudo muito calmo, limpo, sem poluição de qualquer especie.Ideal para viver quem gosta de sossego, seguranca e paz.Julgo que a minha doença (Parkinsson), tem uma evolução mais lenta devido a todos estes factores ambientais.

Translated via google translate: 

I live in Braganca, a small city, the most beautiful in the northeast of Portugal. Very close to Spain. Nothing happens here, everything is very calm, clean, without pollution of any kind.Ideal to live in peace, security and peace.July as a minha doença (Parkinsson), we have a slower evolution due to all these environmental factors .

I live in North Reading, Massachusetts. We’re about 20 miles north of Boston in a nice quiet suburb. I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago, and I am turning 65 next month and still working full time.

I don’t think North Reading is famous for anything.  However, it should be noted that we are not a suburb of Dallas.
