Short Bio

My husband has had PD for over 15 years, had DBS done, taking Sinemet, has been falling lately (gait) lost his voice, needs help with day to day things i.e. changing clothes, etc.

He has good days and bad days.  Overall, his mind is still in tack, no memory loss, can still go out and walk for about 15-20 mins.  He recently started taking CBD with THC that has helped with his chronic lower back pain.
‘For having PD for so long, I think he is doing pretty good!  We take each day one day at a time and live for today.  My husband is 71 years old. 😄
