Sorry to hear that Micky, glad you are staying positive and getting on with life. No way is your license to cook breakfast being revoked. See you in the pinny at Lopwell.

Thanks for sharing Mickey - it really is good to share - be it good, bad or grim. Sorry that it’s not great news, but I’m hoping that the disease progresses very slowly, and the new treatments progress very fast for you. See you at Lopwell!

The take each day as it comes, live for the day attitude you’ve got here Mickey is inspiring and the healthiest view. A friend in the US who was diagnosed 5 years ago went on quite the roller coaster to arrive at this same perspective. He still plays his records now after getting into medical cannabis which worked amazingly for the tremors he had been experiencing (He said they weren’t painful but fucking frustrating) It turns out cannabis stopped the tremors and, he said with marked joy, his collection sounds better!

Unbelievably positive response from you. Keep it up as it helps. Parkinson’s nurses are a godsend of information.
My mate , one of the Three Musketeers as we were known, developed it. I first noticed one New Year when his serving at Dinner was not his usual so I said nothing and started subtly assisting. That went on for years gradually increasing the assistance on social occasions before they made a formal announcement.
He had many good years due to the medication so stay positive. :+1:

Great to hear you have a positive mindset / attitude about this Micky. It is not an easy thing to announce it to everyone. I admire you courage to do this mate, not everyone would or could.

Keep it up Micky, I’m sure I’ll meet up with you soon at some bake-off somewhere :+1:

My dad had it. His progressed very slowly. The tablet that stops you shaking dulls your reactions, and can make you topple over, so getting the balance right is key.

Sorry to hear your news Micky, my Grandfather had it and the drugs controlled it well for many years and that was quite some time ago. Your positive outlook is admirable.

My dad kept swimming every day, for maybe 15 years, after his diagnosis.
