Indeed, I’ve had neurological ailments, most of my life, and I’ll never quit! Exercise helps me, immensely, along with Physical Therapy, regarding my diagnosed Parkinson’s Disease! I was diagnosed with PD, about 7 years ago, but had symptoms for years before that diagnosis. My balance was way off, and I had neurologic symptoms stemming from cranial nerve root compression, from my youth! I had MRI’s and finally a catheter brain blood vessel intervention, which revealed, a major artery, near my brain stem, was pressing in on my midbrain, at the cerebellar pontine angle, causing my debillitating symptoms! An acclaimed neurosurgeon felt that an operation to fix that, would be dangerous. I was put on propanolol, which helps; however, because it caused a partial paralyzed vocal chord symptom, I had to give up excess speaking and singing! As a boy, 7 years old, before the polio vaccine, I contracted non-paralytic polio, where I had to wear braces, for a while, on my legs! I was stiff and in a lot of pain with that, but, as a boy, I got over that, and persevered!! In my 60’s, I, out of the blue, had a bad major Grand Mal seizure, with resulting epilepsy! I was put on Depakote. So, I never quit, and will not let my neurologic problems, define me, and prevent me from accomplishing goals and enjoying my life!
You are definitely a fighter and a survivor !
