Excellent points. I’m definitely not an expert on Parkinson’s disease, I just know what my father went through and some of the trials that he had. Parkinson’s made it difficult for my father to walk, and he also experienced hand tremors, but it never did affect his head. The last couple of years that my father was with me, his speech began to become difficult to understand, but I personally think that some of that was caused by some of the depression that he was going through. My mother passed about seven years before my father did and I know that he was ready to be with her.

I’ve noticed the same thing with quite a few different diseases. It seems like they want throw another medication your way, almost hoping that it will work. I know your frustrations are probably through the roof right now. Have any of these doctors made a referral to someone who could better handle your condition or do they think that meditation is the only way to help?

The link that you gave in your original post is another great example of something that we can promote on this forum. I’ll speak with Marta later today and see if these have been promoted. If not, I will have her do this. Great job Jean.

Jean, the article that you listed in your original post where you gave the movies that were over Parkinson’s disease was excellent. Do you know if this particular list was promoted yet by Marta? If not, this would be something that would really be interesting to promote.

Matt & Jean – Great discussion so far. My father suffered from Parkinson’s about the last nine or ten years of his life. My father was an extremely healthy person, but when he turned 72, he started showing signs of early onset Parkinson’s. After he retired, my father wanted to get another job and he went to work for a chemical company. As he worked for the company, he noticed that quite a few of his friends that he’d been working with were having to go on disability because they were showing signs of Parkinson’s. My brother is not a doctor, but he is extremely smart when it comes to different diseases. He read me an article that he found years and years ago where researchers were starting to correlate Parkinson’s disease with people who worked for chemical companies. This study concluded that after inhaling fumes from certain chemicals, this may trigger the Parkinson’s symptoms. I’ll ask him more about this today when I talk to him and I will also do some research on the Internet to try and find this article.

Hey Jean – My ID’s are up and running. Your frustrations were the same concerns my father had. I would give anything to give you an answer. Are you being followed by a neurologist? My father’s neurologist was really good about answering his questions.
