Having experienced how stress and worry can speed up exacerbating Parkinson’s disease at an alarming speed, the best ammunition against this terror is to keep busy, remain as calm and cheerful as possible and having a sense of humour and fun is of the utmost importance. I absolutely refuse to let Parkinson’s get the better of me. I have strong conviction, a fighting spirit, and much to do; I deny Parkinson’s to get the upper hand. Seeing that I don't work and am quite ill, you wouldn't believe how busy I am. There don’t appear to be enough hours in the day, and I'm perpetually exhausted, but all this is keeping me going. Cyril Northcote Parkinson wrote “Parkinson’s Law” and I quote: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” Rather appropriately my days are filled with this ever expanding project of mine to bring greater awareness through my book, writing this blog, speaking engagements and all that has spiralled off making this mission a full time endeavour.
