    Garry Maxfield replied to the topic Do you have theories about why you have Parkinsons? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    While there will be as many different theories as there are people with PD, an observation;

    Before diagnosed with PD life was always a rush. Busy here, busy there, found it hard to slow down. Now I am forced to take things slower and be mindful of what I do. It’s been a lifestyle change by being forced to slow down…..

    Garry Maxfield replied to the topic How do you manage low-energy days? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 6 months, 1 week ago

    On low energy days I push to keep my regular routine; I find the more active I am, (within reason), the better I feel. While everyone will have different degrees and different lifestyles, walking up and down steps and keeping up my archery is both mentally and physically helpful in my situation

    Hi Marlyne,

    Your future is never uncontrollable; you are always in control.

    You may never know the reason why but acceptance is half the battle

    Your attitude is your greatest medicine…..

    Garry Maxfield replied to the topic Did you ever reach a point of acceptance? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    Well I thought I might have had a different ailment, then I was diagnosed …

    Took about 10 seconds to accept the fact

    Oh well;

    I have Parkinsons;

    Now what?;

    Acceptance is half the cure;

    Take your medicine, do your exercises, NEVER give up on life;

    Besides, maybe I can be a role model for someone else who is suffering…..

    I started getting PD symptoms 3 years ago but tried everything until a neurologist confirmed I had PD this year.

    Theories as to why?

    I think it from being alive

    Don’t complain, you may be a role model for someone else who is suffering too

    Garry Maxfield replied to the topic What are your hobbies? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    While I do not have hobbies as such I enjoy archery. Recently diagnosed with Parkingsons, I found that a sport for me keeps me focused and sane! While there is deterioration I refuse to give in; so more weight exercises so I can continue archery. Walking can be an issue sometimes but consciously lifting and placing one foot at a time is like a…[Read more]
