Ten Things Parkinson’s Patients Want

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 05:00 AM PDT-Ten Things Parkinson’s Patients Want appeared first on Parkinson's Journey

1. To feel good.
2. To smell (what’s baking in the oven).
3. To have people believe that the person with PD isn't pretending to have a chronic disease. Really. We have better things to do.
4. For others to understand that although they can’t see all of the effects, the disease is real.
5. More dopamine. We gotta have more cow bell dopamine.
6. To not shake all the time. It would be so nice to stir our coffee because we want to.
7. For others to be aware of the struggles and invisible symptoms people with Parkinson’s face so that they are better able to understand the fervency and urgency of a cure.
8. To find a drug that doesn’t knock you out for half the day, but instead, knocks out PD.
9. A plastic bat to hit others over the head when they make thoughtless comments.
10. A cure. .
