RAH! RAH! Peggy, This is the kind of post I read the list every day for. it's also just what I needed to hear today. Thanks, Sue in Wisconsin [log in to unmask] -------Original Message------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network Date: 01/05/05 01:09:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Abilities Monica Your post brought back so many memories concerning when I was first diagnosed. I, too, painted and thought I would have to give it up. With PD your symptoms will go up and down (for most). Sometimes I would have an entire month that was "bad," and I would think this was the end to my getting out ever. But a little adjustment in medications or a change in my sleep, diet, or removal from stressors; and I was ready to face any challenge! What you can do is change your painting style. I changed from a Rembrandt to a Monet in style of painting. And even if you cannot thread the beads you bought, you can create the patterns and let a child or friend thread with you. (Or better yet, create some of those beaded lamps or vases!) It's not over until it's over! We are close to finding a cure - and I don't want to see those reading this roll their eyes. We truly ARE! Let's not throw our towels into the ring just yet. Keep on keeping on! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn Peggy
