I'm 73 and am struggling horribly with PD. I am having problems walking. My legs and back stiffen up terribly. My meds aren't working that well. I have had it since 2010 but wasn't diagnosed until 2016. The last year has gotten worse. I am a Vietnam vet 100% VA disabled exposed to Agent Orange. I don't know if it's different than people who get it from other ways but I am down in the trenches emotionally. You are a brave man Jimmy I admire you but this disease has worn me down. I have a Neurologist but I don't get to see him often and the VA doesn't do much.

PD dx age 42. 60 years old. I’m in

Thank you Heather!

Super hero, that is the way to deal with Parkinson's disease. Thank you 😂

Awesome advice! Spreading awareness. One story at a Time.❤😊

Are you on meds?

I love her attitude ad would love to meet and cuddle with her.

Beautiful woman.

Four years ago. How are you doing today, 2024? I really need to know.

My partner of 37 years was diagnosed with PD but they changed it to MSA-P. He's slowly being tortured to death. I've never seen anything like this. Shortly before his diagnosis my mother died of LBD and three months later my father of pulmonary fibrosis. I'm trying to stay positive but it's beyond challenging. It's been 7 years of watching my loved ones die but MSA-P is especially a slow agonizing death. Watching your partner or spouse die like this is like living with a permanently broken heart. I'm his caregiver. Been to ER twice in 3 years.

Davis doesn't know me but I use to race against him and 7 Eleven in the 80s. He was and is still is one of my idols. I still have his poster with Coors light hung up on my wall. Sad but inspired here. Great guy and great family

nice knowing you I also have parkinson

Thanks Jimmy. My husband, aged 62 was diagnosed with PD two years ago. Together we work at doing what we can so he can lead his best life. He has a great attitude and I do a lot of research to keep up to the latest treatments and studies but it doesn’t consume us. We’ve been on two boat and bike trips in the last couple of years and going on another one this fall. He still sails and plays with our grandchildren too. Just taking it a day at a time! Thanks for all your great advice and positivity! 🥰🙌👏😁

I completely understand about your neck and shoulders that kills me 24/7 the only time I guess I don't really feel is when I'm sleeping! But what frustrates me... Is the constant and relenting fatigue and never seems to go away. Doctors just like to push pills on us that do not work. I currently take carbidopa levodopa like most P.D. people take! We must all band and help each other out as much as we can share our experiences what medication helps etcetera the most thing we need to do is to have compassion and patience cuz it's a long slow depressing road. And try to keep a positive smile on our face 😊 everyone have a beautiful day please be patient with your disease ❤

What a lovely woman you are! So charming, honest and kind. I love how you accept our shared reality so graciously, yet truthfully explaining the nasty bits. Our neurologists have quite a large impact on us, for the good or bad. Thank you for putting to words so beautifully, not only our struggles but our joys. Invaluable interview!

Are you on the medication?

I really appreciate your honesty and encouragement! You are my inspiration!💕🙏🏼

What are the best times for pill taking. Dr. Never told me.

Great things Dr Madida on RUclips has being doing for mankind, I undergo his Parkinson disease treatment plan for weeks and my Parkinson Disease was completely reversed...💫

Thanks for this Video 😊

God bless you, Jimmy.

Mother just died of Parkinson’s, and I’m terrified! I have to wonder at every turn what is happening. I’m viewing the world differently now. Everything is a neurone. I’m loading up on supplements to prevent any disease. And walking everywhere. Anxiety and worry is debilitating also. So I’m taking supplements for that too.

God bless and happy new year 🎉❤🎉…

Hi Jimmy At least you have something positive to say. Thank you. Too many videos talk negatively. I'm 65 and recently diagnosed. Anyone I tell just say ' oh that's awful' ' glad the meds help' and then change the conversation to something else. I always hated exercise. But I walked a lot. Do you think just walking is good enough?

What a brave man ❤

I like Davis perspective. It gives me confidence.

Richelle, you are great!

Thanks Jimmy. I needed that.

Though i know its PD iam in state of shock.... hopelessness has filled me, i was so active, i was dressed in the most good manner but now i stopped facing ppl thinking they will notice something is wrong with my physically....i really don't know what to do iam feeling that i will die

Such a great interview with Davis.

Brother, I tell you that mountains will move if you command them. I prayed and demanded that your brain returns to the state that it should be. Your were a great player to watch, but the man you’ve become facing this adversity is hopeful for all. I tell you that your day is coming and you will bless a lot more people than you will ever imagine.

I lived in Rome NY for 5 years

Thank you so very much for sharing this, it helps shift my perspective in ways rather felt beyond comprehension a while ago. You are a star, my hero. Forgive me if I am wrong, I think every moment we smile, love and live without the mere though of the disease we win , it loses and perhaps we get stronger and who knows something more beautiful happens. You made my day.

Thank you very much for sharing your story, Heather! Being a PD patient, myself, I understand totally what you are saying. All the best to you!
