    Kate replied to the topic Did you ever reach a point of acceptance? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    Yes, I’ve accepted my diagnosis both emotionally and intellectually.  There are far worse diseases, in my opinion AND we are only given the present moment to live. When I feel challenged I think of the high income financial services victims who worked in the World Trade Center on 9/11. They didn’t have Parkinson’s, they may have had a great deal…[Read more]
