One thing I’d add to this great article is that its easy to confuse double vision with convergence issues. If you’re having eye problems, its worth a trip to a ophthalmologist/neurologist (dual trained). My original ophthalmologist told me that there were no vision issues with Parkinson’s Disease but there sure can be! Thanks, Maria, for […]

Priceless Time
What a great meeting we had today! With no outside guest speaker, and the holidays behind us, it was time to keep the meeting members only with a freeform conversational flow.

New Year’s Resolutions
Its that time of year, ladies, time to consider whether you are content with the status quo in all areas of your life, or whether you would like to see change happen. Sometimes, we set bold, large goals like losing a substantial amount of weight. But sometimes, they are smaller, quieter goals like smiling more or working […]

We all know that Parkinson’s Disease is considered a “designer disease” in that we each get our own unique version to deal with.

Thoughts on the PFNCA Symposium
Ladies, I spent yesterday at the PFNCA Symposium. It was a wonderful, educational experience and I recommend you attend one at some point. One of the best things, to me, was discovering how many people I have come to know and realizing that, indeed I’ve become part of this community. I was happy to see […]
