The most stressful challenge is finding a medical provider who treats you as an individual and not some one size fits all which I have learned is so untrue for those of us with Parkinson’s.</p>

Thank you Gail for your sharing and reminding me that I have a choice of embracing the fear that is of this world’s or the faith that is God. I am starting to try and become more aware and accepting of His plans and purpose for me that are not focused on what I can no longer do,but what I can do. Merry Christ-mas to everyone. This site has been such a blessing over the past 2 weeks.

Ally, in August ,2019 I received the shock of being diagnosed with Leukemia. As someone who was steeped in Christ I was not ready for such news. After 9 months of fluctuating between living in the darkness of cancer and living in the Light of Christ I found peace. August 2020 the rug is pulled out by a diagnosis of Parkinson’s. I have to say this whirlwind has been much different including my walk with Christ. A recent revisit to the Cross is beginning to heal the wound.

I have ongoing pain of varying levels 24/7 in my legs and feet. I experience random severe dystonic episodes that can last anywhere from 15- 90 minutes and include my upper body as well. Medication so far is not helping.
