PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"April is Parkinson's Awareness Month"
Whatever it takes to beat Parksinson's.

Some of you know that my DH has Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder that is chronic and progressive.

Nearly one million Americans are living with Parkinson’s.
Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year, and this number does not reflect the thousands of cases that go undetected.
Seven to 10 million people worldwide are estimated to be living with Parkinson’s disease.
Incidence of Parkinson’s increases with age, but an estimated four percent of people with Parkinson’s are diagnosed before the age of 50.

Unfortunately, the cause of Parkinson’s is unknown and presently there is not yet a cure. But there is hope in the promising research ongoing. And you can help. April is Parkinson's Awareness Month. Make a difference this April by donating to PDF at www.pdf.org or any Parkinson's research organization.

Thanks for the post, Bug... we can never let up on the research as a breakthrough could come at any time. Here's wishing that it comes soon so that people with Parkinson's can have a fully functioning life even with the advanced stages and have a longer life expectancy.

I know there's no cure, but hopefully your husband has some relief from the symptoms through medication (I can't quite recall how far he is along in the diagnosis?).

Jerry first noticed the tremor in 2002; it was diagnosed as a benign tremor for a few years. Medications for PD were prescribed to help the tremors. Official Parkinson's Disease diagnosis in 2008.

He'll be having surgery on April 23 to have his throat cut - literally.
Part of the swallowing problem is because a muscle does not relax and allow the food to move down into the esophagus.
An ENT surgeon will cut the muscle in his throat to relax this muscle. We'll be in the hospital overnight at least one night.

Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.
We've learned to manage one day at a time.
