    I have a can do spirit. It does not matter how long it takes to complete a task, as long as I complete it. I may have limitations, but I certainly do not identify as “disabled”. I get heated when I hear that word.

    Be positive, just breath – I was diagnosed in July Of 2022. I began to read everything I could find. Spent many a night on the iPad researching and reading. Until I realized it is not a one size fits all – I had to limit the time spent on site searches in the evening, as it began to affect my sleep, Also readings posts on other sites were kind of negative. I would like to think of us as Warriors not Worriers…

    I am moving soon to be close to family, and have quite a bit stuff to give away. Found myself going from room to room instead of working in one room at a time. Parkinson’s is all so new to me, and it appears that is all so new to many that have been diagnosed.

    When folks ask me about Parkinson’s I try my best to share what I have experienced thus far and though our experiences are different we are all in this together.

    There is a smell not an odor. Thought at first maybe imagined, and then became more apparent, as days progressed. Strong musk smell.

    I wear cotton T Shirts, and I began to notice new changes everyday. Oily skin, very oily around nose, extreme dry itchy scalp, continuous runny nose, damp feet even after washing and drying, and putting on socks. These are just a few things I never had, but are occurring.

    Started to journal changes that are happening.
