Now or part two of my bit about Parkinson’s post
Many of us become experts at hiding our struggles. We smile. We make conversation. We show up. We push through.
But behind that smile may be fatigue, pain, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, and a dozen other symptoms that nobody else can see.
That can be lonely.
It can be frustrating.
It can make you feel misunderstood.
The truth is that Parkinson’s is much more than a tremor.
It affects movement, thinking, emotions, sleep, energy levels, balance, speech, and so much more.
And every person experiences it differently.
So if you know someone with Parkinson’s, remember that there may be far more happening than what you can see.
And if you live with Parkinson’s yourself, remember this:
You are fighting battles every day that most people will never fully understand.
You keep getting up.
You keep adapting.
You keep moving forward.
That doesn’t make you weak.It makes you stronger than they know.
Very inspiring!
Thanks I am pleased you liked it
You are a Brave, Brave lady 🥰
I don’t see myself as brave
You are. Trust me, you are 💕
You are incredibly strong. Thank you for writing about Parkinson’s Disease. My sister-in-law is battling it, and I have heard about some of her battles.
Thank you, I don’t consider myself as strong or brave, I am just me doing my best day in and day out
Jo-Anne, you really are a strong woman who, instead of giving up like many might, chose to educate herself and do everything possible to rise to the occasion and live life to the fullest. You accomplish more in a day than many others and never complain. You truly are an inspiration, and even if you don’t recognize it in yourself, it doesn’t make it any less true because others see it in you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I feel truly touched by the fact that others see me as strong and brave and inspiring
You are a remarkable woman! Your strength shows in what you are writing and helping people to understand what you and others with Parkinson’s are going through. Thank you!
Blessings of hope!
