Michael J. Fox returns

Amazingly Michael J. Fox is returning to our TV screens in NBC's new series this coming fall. How incredible Michael has managed to return to work, that he puts partially down to the new medication regime he is on which includes Amantadine, originally created for the elderly to ward off flu. As with many drugs that are initially created for one purpose, sometimes end up being more effective used for another illness. Watching the trailer, I had to laugh as identifying with Michael's character, you can't help but smile, seeing the funny side of life. Not that there's anything funny about having Pakinson's, but as I've mentioned so many times before, it's all a matter of attitude and how you perceive your life. I hope this series will be a success and an eye opener to those who do not fully understand the difficulties encountered daily by anyone suffering from Parkinson's. As for anyone like myself, it's like watching a little piece of my own life, relating to the family interactions and antics at home with a little dark humour thrown in for good measure. Good luck Michael on your new show. We'll all be watching!
