In the 15 = years that I lived with this I have seen my life and my body go though = many changes- there have been the bad changes but I have to admit that = I have gone though many good changes. I have had to learn to "Not Sweat = the Small Stuff", the stress of worrying about the small things that we = have no control over only succeed in making my PD worse and harder to = deal with. Having PD for so many years and raising 2 small girls has caused me to = reevaluate my life. It helps you see what is really important, and what = isn't well then to heck with it. I firmly believe that in the next few = years there is going to some major developments in the treatment of PD.. = We all have to believe this, and I hope in those years none of us are = made to few that we are in fact a burden to our families. After all = would they rather we weren't around at all. I don't think so! I can = honestly say that because I don't only have PD, but my father also had = it, and he felt like he was a burden to his family so he decided to make = our load a little lighter and he committed suicide. Well I would much = rather have him around and be a burden than not be around to take = special joy in the good things in life. I guess what I am trying to say life isn't a bowl of cherries there are = a few pits in there to. But as long as we hold on to our sense of = humor, because that is one thing PD can not take away from us unless we = let it. I have also realized that a regular exercise routine helps a great deal = with my PD. And in return I don't have the "SO Called BAT Wings" that = can develop under our arms as we age. I feel my body is only getting = better. Power of positive thinking. I am sorry this got a little long, = everyone please accept my apologies.

It has helped to put = me back into a positive frame of mind this morning. I was feeling pretty = sorry for myself when I read it. I feel somewhat better now. I know that = exercise can help a lot. I sometimes find myself trying to do everything "now " = while I can still function without too many problems. Unfortunately, there is still too much that I had planned on doing to fit it all into the next = year or two. Besides who can afford it? I try to be realistic. I know that = PD will not kill me but it will make it harder to do things. That part = scares me sometimes. I never wanted to be a burden to my family and I feel = that is coming some day. Lets pray for a cure!!!!! Again thanks for the = positive post.
