Dear list friends, Hi, I'm a new list member and this is my first posting. I am 59 / 15 PD. PD is a nuisance and it's such a nonsensical disease. Most days I'm on top of it, but off days are really bad. I've had frozen shoulder a number of times. My arms were painful and stiff. I have recently taken to aqua aerobics. I found that my arms are stronger, and can lift them above my head now. All the activity has allowed me to breathe deeply, and I have more energy. We really like the work out in the heated swimming pool. Thanks for the list. The information I have received has been invaluable to me. I admire all you wonderful people for being so courageous. thank you so much for the poems and the humour too. I am interested in the thought that Liz posted: that we should pray for the passage of the Udall Bill and the politicians. I'm praying with you Liz! Also pray for our PD patients and their well being and families. God is bigger than PD, we'd better believe it! Love, Maxie ([log in to unmask]).
