I often "forget" I suffer from an disease. I`m trying EVERY day to doo something I like very much, that`s keeps me going on. That reminds me, why > do we call it a disease? If you have cancer, you don't say I > have cancer disease. If you have Aids, you don't say I have Aids > Disease. But if you have Parkinsons, you say, I have Parkinsons > Disease!? *** To me is PD only a "word", and I like this diagnose better than "RYSTESYGE" (in Danish) it`s difficult to translate - but something like "SHAKING-ILNESS" roughly translated. :-) because I almost have no tremor - but for sure I`m stiff in the morning.
