Thank you, Teresa! If I can help, even one, fellow Parkinson’s patient, along the road, of dealing with Parkinsonism, or Parkinson’s Disease symptoms, then it is well worth my sharing what exercise, in particular, can do, in helping one deal with stiffness, rigidity, and balance! When I was first diagnosed with PD, it was scary, thinking about what I had heard before, from others, and what I had read, about neurodegenerative diseases. First thing I thought of, is what Lou Gherig went through, suffering with a neurodegenerative disease! Was this neurological ailment that I was diagnosed with, going to restrict my movement, so much, that, eventually, I was going to not be able to move, at all? I did not, at first, have a support system, in place, to allay my fears! Over the years, I’ve developed a good support system, in place, helping me to deal with having Parkinson’s Disease! This Mayo Clinic support group blogging, has proven to be very beneficial to me! I appreciate the opportunity, to participate in this program!
