I don't think the people on this list (at least not this one) need someone out in the ozone answering their questions on how to live with Parkinson's. My vision of the list is that we're all in this together. Sandy, I would suggest you come down from your Parkie Porch and join us on the playground. Take care, Rick 49/47 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 00:49:02 -0800 From: Sandra Norris <[log in to unmask]> Subject: TUG-OF-WAR! Sandy's Parkie Porch! Hello! Glad to have you come and sit with me for a spell. My name is Sandy Norris. I am also known as "sandyofnc" and "sassyplwp". I am 40 years old and I am a person living with Parkinson's Disease (Pd). My neurologists have labeled it "young-onset" or more precisely Juvenile-parkinson's. I have had Pd since the age of 20. To the best of my knowledge, I am one of the youngest to have lived with Pd for the amount of time that I have. I "actively-choose" to live my life as positively as I can. It has been an ongoing prayer of mine that God would use me in such a way as to "give back" and to "benefit" the Pd community. Hence, Brenda and Nan have been the deliverers of this answered prayer. Thank you Brenda and Nan! Over the course of twenty years I have gained insight pertaining to the "living" with Parkinson's Disease. I would like to offer my "open heart" to you in hopes of possibly helping you live with Pd. Our Pd community is growing in number! Our voices need to be heard! If you have something you are dealing with or you just would like to know how I cope with Pd please know I am here to try and help. Write your question or your need in the space provided and I will get back to you. Remember we are all in this fight together. I feel blessed to be a part of PLWP.
