Julie, I'm so happy you have an angel named Ed in your life. What a blessing. And what a warrior you are, you should be so proud of yourself. This is no easy battle to face, even with an angel but you got it girl.

Oh my goodness Julie! Would you like to share more about your experience? Is there more you would like us to know about this. PD stinks but I can't imagine the impact on your life at such an early age. God bless you and keep you strong.

I have early onset Parkinson's disease I was diagnosed at the age of 38 after 5 years of using a cane and then had to use a walker for 5 years then it graduated to manual wheelchair which I'm currently using and now I've upgraded to a power chair which has five speeds and goes really fast which I enjoy it's hot pink and black and it's really fun 😊 and I was first diagnosed I was in complete shock I thought Parkinson's was only for old people so I couldn't believe it when they told me I had Parkinson's so I went for a second opinion and it was confirmed I had Parkinson's disease so right away I wanted to know more about it so I read everything I can read about it then I join the script and what a blessing with men for my journey I wouldn't be able to live the life that I'm living without my dear husband Ed he's my caregiver and best friend you takes care of me 24/7 365 days a year everything from showering me to trimming my hair dressing meds and all my meals I'm picking up my prescriptions he is a true blessing from God please write to me if you have any questions thank you Julie Olson 359❤️❤️.
