A Crisis of Purpose Can Be Your Chance to Make Dreams Come True by Karin Sieger
A crisis of purpose can happen when life does not go our way, and we realize it may never go our way. We may feel stuck with few or no options. But wait. It does not have to be this way.
It is not uncommon to have more or less fixed notions about the path our life will take, the roles we will play, the identity… read more
My purpose: I have an adult son 37 years old who is on the autism spectrum and also has uncontrolled epilepsy. He graduated from high school and must live at home. My wife and I are his care takers… read more
Hello team. Have you ever stopped to think about how long a dopamine cell lives? I found several explanations but none of them were what I wanted to hear. Have any of you out there done any research on the dopamine life span? Let's all do a little project together. Let's see what all we can find on the life of dopamine. Because if it's only three minutes what good does it do to try to put or replace dopamine in your system? I think here may lie the subject matter for a cure for Parkinson's. See… read more
It's complicated. First there are at least two types of dopamine "cell"..."makers" and "receptors". You could be deficient in both, or only one.
Of course if your makers are fine, then it's a more… read more
I've seen the directory, but I'd like to hear first hand from other people. I've taken my mom to the movement specialist in Miami, and let's just say we are ready for a change.
JoanMarieCortes thank you! I will give her a call!! Sending you a big hug!
Please interact with your congressman & voice your concerns.

Please see my response to scottsmom. I have and will continue to communicate with my congressmen but I believe we also need to work toward education and understanding among the public and health… read more

Each of us needs to Stop coming up with Thousands of reasons why we Cannot beat our own PD. All We Need is One reason why we Can beat it

Just saw yesterday that a bill has been introduced by a Florida congressmen to recognize veterans who may have had Agent Orange exposure in Guam. Parkinson's disease is one of the presumptive diseases to that exposure. If you served in Guam starting in 67 through mid 70's and have cancer, diabetes or any other 17 diseases that can be contributing to the exposure you will want to contact your congressman to support this bill.
I grew up next to a large electrical powerline in the 60's and 70's which was rumored to have been sprayed with agent orange during those years... played there often as a child as it was right in my… read more
How does the family handle the off times that lead to hallucinations with anger? It’s stressful from my end, and don’t enjoy putting the family thru the hard times. They should be enjoying their own family without drama.
I live with my son and granddaughter I have Hallucinations I'm on Serquel but don't think I have Advanced Parkinson's. Best of luck Martin 5
Pointing toes CAUSES my calf cramps! I have to flex my foot up, not down! I guess we're all different...
I know many of you are used to me being almost disgustingly positive and I stall am. But, I think you know I'm also realistic and honest. When celebrities are praised for 'coming out' I wonder, why do they have to? They are human and subject to the same issues we all address without the celebrity status or finances. Have you seen more than a book or occasional interviews from celebrities' besides MJF who walk the walk and talk about the impact of PD on so many people? I'd like to see everyone… read more
We do not need to be ignored. Celebrities get people's attention, and perhaps some will donate. Whereas otherwise, It's just us.
I missed Vietnam by a year or two but was making FBM patrols out of Guam and it's presumed that I was exposed to AO there as it was used all over Polaris Point.
