HOW I FEELABOUT STUFF

~ joannerambling

Well this Saturday and maybe future Saturdays I am posting how I feel about stuff, starting with the neurologist saying I have Parkinson’s. This happened on Thursday at our visit twice she referred to my condition as Parkinson’s, so I asked if I had it and she said yes, with a look that to me said “I thought you knew that”. I could hear my Mum who always thought it was Parkinson’s.

How do I feel about this well I am happy that this diagnoses may help me get help around the house but Parkinson’s isn’t a condition one wants to have. Also this is the third diagnoses I have had, first it was a Functional Tremor, then a Dystonic Tremor and now Parkinson’s. So will it change again.

I know I have gone down hill the last couple of years and expect to continue to go down hill, I just hope the medication acts like a brake an slow me down.

The road ahead is covered in fog and full of pot holes.

I often feel like I am a burden to my family and it will only get worse.

So really I am all over the place with how I am feeling.

  1. Dearest Jo-Anne,
    Can’t you have a 2nd opinion just to be sure of this prognosis?
    It is rather confusing for mentioning three types of illnesses and it shows they’re rather uncertain.
    Wishing you the very best on your final stretch—guess for most of us it is the toughest part of life.
    One certainly did not enter it prepared and in several cases we indeed do become a burden to others…
    May God give you strength!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    PS Did your Mum mention that for a reason? Did anyone of your kins have it…?

    1. This diagnoses came after the visit to the movement disorder clinic when I was examined by a dozen doctors, there is no history of it in the family mum just thought it was Parkinson’s. I ask God for strength each day

      1. So J-Anne, this is pretty much certain then—considering the amount of doctors that poured over it. We never know what comes our way and indeed, like I do every morning again and before each meal—asking God for strength! We know where we are going and it is our Faith that leads us but it often is not an easy route to go. AND we have no choice, no detour can be made…
        Big hugs and know that you are NOT the only one going this tough road. We never gave such grave things a thought when we were younger. But if you search for it—it shows that we’re by far not alone in this ‘dirt–road’…

  3. Jo–Anne,
    No doubt you know the world famous singer Neil Diamond—in 2018 he announced that he would stop touring due to his Parkinson’s disease.
    It is sad that people get affected by it!
    No matter who or where…
    Big hugs,
    Mariette
