It has been 23 years since my diagnosis with PD. I feel like I have been walking with high heels over the mountains, going up and down the rocky roads carrying a log in my back. Can you visualize this scenario?
You might think I exaggerate but if you had this illness perhaps you would feel the same way or worse/.
I am tired.
I am not melancholic, I don't want or need sympathy, I am another victim of these monster (PD) that is crawling back to my body like an impostor!
I am tired.
Of waiting for the magic pill that will kill PD. I see other people with other neurological illnesses suffering with their caregivers hoping that a miracle will cured them.Meanwhile, I see the self destruction of my 20 year old daughter and her friends health: smoking and drinking. I strongly believe that there should be more cause and effect emphasis on addiction.
I am so tired
On this government that gives us a check to stimulate the economy and later freezes the Social Security
cost of living adjustment, and terminates the home stead rebate for rental people.
I am tired
of seeing so many people that has lost their jobs, including my mother forcing an early retirement, good thing though it was before the established to increase the age limit to be eligible to receive a pension from 65 years to 72 years old!
I am stating all these factors so you can see that there are other troubles in life besides PD, I am no different than any of you, I don't have the answer to every question, I am vulnerable. therefore, i will go rest because I am tired.
