Ok here is the question what the hell is Parkinson’s Disease, well from what I know it is neurodegenerative disorder in such diseases neurons which are brain cells die sooner than normal both inside and outside the brain, although most damage occurs in the brain.
We are born with hundreds of billions of neurons and yes many die off naturally and most people have plenty of “spare” neurons. Now unlike most cells neurons don’t reproduce to generate new nerve cells for when something goes wrong.
With a neurodegenerative condition certain types of neurons die at a much faster rate then normal wear and tear and are not replaced.
When too many neurons die a persons everyday motions such as walking, talking, swallowing and writing are effected. Our brains need something called dopamine to assist the neurons to function like fine tuning our brain actions. However, with Parkinson’s this fine tuning action is lost when the dopamine neurons die.
So a persons movements become less smooth and more stiffer, slower and they appear to hesitate when trying to move or do stuff.

A very interesting post. Thanks for the info. You bring up an interesting question regarding dopamine. Do you know if it is possible to increase the supply of dopamine neurons?
The medication I take contains dopamine from what I understand it doesn’t stay in the body which is why I am taking it 4 times a day and it does help maybe one day they may figure out how to increase the supply of the neurons instead of just topping up ones supply
Thanks for this information and I am happy for you that the medication helps. ❤
Dearest Jo-Anne,
We all are prone to a lot of complications as we age.
Our body and above all, our brain, is a very complicated thing and we all hope that it will last a lifetime.
Wishing you well in delaying all the negativity and I guess you are lucky for having found the right medical people that can guide you through this.
Hugs,
Mariette
I have always lived my life one day at a time never been one for making big plans and can only hope I can keep this disease at bay for as long as possible. I am blessed to be surrounded by a loving al supportive family and a great lot of online friends like yourself
