"I have Young Onset Parkinson Disease" (camj)

MDJunction to me

"MDJ has given me the ability to help thousands of people, and I'm so glad for that opportunity. It's been a lifeline for me. It's nice to know that you aren't the only one going thru something, and there is ALWAYS someone ready to help you anyway they can. MDJ is truly one of a kind, and I'm grateful for the friends I've made here." (jaime1978)

My Journey to Healing

I am writing this diary to keep track of the monthly stomach viruses I have had since June 2012 to learn more about the mystery of my illness, it's flare ups and recovery process. I also need to learn how to set some serious limits.

Stay Summer Stay

Aug 03 2009

I have been able to swim in our new pool and can't believe how out of shape I am. I can swim from one side to the other and feel like I just climbed a mountain. I will keep trying to regain some strengththrough swimming and pray we have a longer summer than normal. As soon as the weather fluctuates and the cool temps prevail, my pain goes from a 5 to a 9 and nothing can stop it. So I say: stay summer stay, my only time that I can grasp some former sense of myself , before the pain ruled my body and therefore controlled my life's circumstances
