Yesterday was a day of miracles. Maybe small little steps to some but huge strides for me. Early on in the day a friend of mine sent me an article or news release . http://www.btang.net/, in which a group of doctors at Ohio State (yeh Midwest) had come across possibly a cure for Parkinson's. Not something to slow the progression but to Cure the disease. They have been researching an enyzme in the brain that kills brain cells and they have figured how to stop it. Small things to some if you do not have this disease but huge to those who have it.
I went from my email to Facebook and low and behold someone had ask me to be their friend. Not just someone but someone who for three years I have idolized as someone who could and does make a big difference in the progression of research of Parkinson's and ALS. Jamie Heywood had ask me ....Me a nobody from Mid Illinois to be his friend on Facebook. Who is Jamie? He owns and started Patientslikme.com after the loss of his brother to ALS at a very young age. Patientslikeme.com has given me a home for three years. A Home away from home while I adjusted to the facts of Parkinson's. I have posted in their PD forum religiously for three years. I have made hundreds of friends I would have never known and had experiences I would never had had. Jamie was "the ruler"and now he wanted to be my friend......Wow!!! I hurried up and answered "Yes" and tried to breath. Wow. Two days before I had received blood work that for the first time in a year was NORMAL and now I was walking much better. Something was working and working well. I was really clicking and the emails were flying and then the phone rang and it was the National Parkinson's Disease Foundation wanting more information on someone who was very special to me She had designed a tee shirt for me for the Walk. Would she like to enter a competition for them? Yes I think she would...... Quite unusually for me, I was handling this on a great eight hours sleep and felt great. I really don't know what is going on but I am loving it so keep it coming.....love Pokie
