Most of my friends and many others know that I am getting on with life in spite of a diagnosis of Parkinsons about three years ago. I thought at that time things would be far worse than in fact they have been. I can cope with a bit of shaking, a modicum of stiffness on one side and concentrate on doing things I can do and finding ways to still do the other things that are affected by Parkinson's.
There are things like exercise on a daily basis which along with the daily doses of dopamine in the form of Sinamet is the mainstay of my well-being . I also find singing in the Celebration Choir a great morale booster . I took up indoor bowls to improve the performance of my right arm and by persevering and concentrating hard over the weeks and the couple of years I can manage to hold my own . I carry on with the domestic crafts and art I had enjoyed over many years and manage to enjoy travel and holidays.
Each week is full of activity underscored by the fact that I am living with Parkinson's and I can honestly say that I am living life to the full.
