Hello Jeremy and Ivan, I have the pleasure having joined two International Parkinson Symposium for younger pwp. Last year in Leverkusen - Germany, and this autumn in Legoland, Billund Denmark, and I was in compagny with you - Jeremy. You and all the other pwp gave me strenght to go on, because I saw how it is possible to live mit PD. Like you Jeremy I`m not fighting against the disease, I live with "my shadow" whatever I like it or not. So where I`m going my "shadow" is with, sometimes more visible than other times - and so it is. Ivan, of course I can get angry sometimes because of the disease, e.g. when my foot and leg is teasing me, so I can hardly walk as today. My "shadow" isn`t able to express feelings - BUT I AM- each time I feel happy, unhappy, bitter, I have the possibility to write to about 1600 nice people who really understand me. Very often I`m singing: WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD / Louis Armstrong. I´m never alone I have told before, and I`m pleased to be able to write to two good friends - one in UK and the other in The States - without to have to dress on and "walk" outside to post my mail.
