My Ode To Parkinson’s

My Ode To Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s is the most dreadful disease,
My legs want to move, but my feet….they just freeze!
My shoes don’t fit ‘cos my feet are so fat,
Parkinson’s and I don’t get on and that’s that!

Is this all I’ve got for the rest of my days?
The shuffling, the tremors, my brain in a haze?
All that I wanted was to quietly retire,….
Walk the dog, read my paper, relax by the fire.

My cocktail of tablets keeps my tremors at bay,
(As long as I take them at the same time each day!)
Forget at my peril and I’ll soon feel so ill,.,,,’
All because of that one little Madopar pill.

So, I waddle along in my own little way,
With my wiring mixed up and my satnav astray.
My life was mapped out, but not anymore,
’Cos I seem to be permanently stuck to the floor!!!

Thank you, Lorna. It’s something you have to accept and learn to live with.  It’s not a death sentence, it’s just a new way of life.   Take care. Maralyn..xx

I was around 58 when my thumb started giving me problems. As time passed, I had other symptoms: hand tremors, restless sleep, muscle weakness, cognitive decline, voice spasms, and a stiff, achy right arm and ankle. At 60 I was diagnosed with PARKINSON’S DISEASE. I was on Carbidopa and Pramipexole for two years; they helped a lot but not for long. As the disease progressed, my symptoms worsened. With my neurologist's guidance, I started on PD-5 herbal formula from U.H.C. (Uinehealth Centre). The treatment worked very effectively; my severe symptoms, especially the tremors, simply vanished. I feel better now than I have ever felt, and I can feel my strength again. Visit or google Uinehealthcentre. net. My neurologist was very open when looking at alternative medicines and procedures; this PD-5 treatment is a breakthrough

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
