The best thing that I learned from participating on this site is that I am not alone. There are so many things to learn about Parkinson's that, for me, took years. We never know if we're going to have a good day or an off day. There are no triggers for an off day. Some nice we sleep well and some we don't. I have learned over the years to take a day at a time and just adjust and adapt. The hardest thing for me has been telling people that I can't go out to lunch if we have something planned, or I can't have them over to my house because I am in bed. That is just something that I have learned to accept and give myself Grace. Take care of yourself. We are here for you.

Hi I am Terry and 70. Just dienosed with Parkingson. I am grateful for this group I am learning so much and gaining from your shared experience. Thank you all

As a caregiver I truly love the support in this group. I too have learned so much from the people with PD and their caregivers. I love how we can get answers to questions that we don't get elsewhere. Thank you everyone and take care.🩷

I love this site it has helped me so much to learn and understand PD as my Dr never told me anything about it or what to expect I get lots of information and support here and the people on here are amazing

CindyA2. I read an article about how people who were less social were more prone to Alzheimer's, which is a different type of dementia than Parkinson's, but still under the same medical category. There was opportunity to comment, so I asked if there were any similar studies concerning Parkinson's. If I receive a response, I will share it here.
I believe that the people on this site keep me from slipping into a dark mental state that I avoid more than COVID. I thank God for you all. I pray that each member of MyParkinsonsTeam has received the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, so we can get to know each other without this dreadful disease or any ailments for ever!
