Seeing the film “Love &
Other Drugs” (which was made a few years ago) particularly moved me for obvious reasons. I could relate to the character Anne
Hathaway portrays, having Young Onset Parkinson’s, diagnosed at age 44.
I wanted to let Anne know how well she
portrayed the character. I see this film not merely as entertaining but
bringing greater awareness of this terrible disease to the general public who mostly
think it’s an “old people’s” disease, where as in the film, Anne Hathaway clearly
brings home the message that Parkinson’s can strike at a young age.
Like the
character in the film, I also feel ridden with guilt as I need my husband more
than he needs me. There were many raw truths that hit home, and it was hard to
swallow some of the scenarios on screen, that I live daily.
Thank you, Anne, for
taking on this role which was far from glamorous. I’m sorry you didn't win an award for your marvelous
performance, but I can assure you, that you won a place in many hearts from those who
suffer from or take care of someone with Parkinson. Bringing this subject
matter into the limelight and onto the big screen makes you a winner, and wish
you continued success with your career.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed 3 years ago at age 56. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability, and soft voice. I also have difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and 6 months ago Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. I tried every shots available but nothing worked. I have been reading about thiamine and want to start him on high dose therapy (hoping that his symptoms do not become worse). In June 2018, my neurologist and I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to Dr. Fabien, i contacted him at www.kunimeherbs.com. I wanted to know more about him before I go ahead with the kunime herbal medicine. I was extra cautious about anything like this. I had a few doubts in my mind, I have searched all over. he explained to me how the kunime medicine works to cure Parkinson’s disease. I discussed with my husband, he permitted me to try it. I made an order for the herbal medicine. I started using the medicine, I noticed tremendous changes, I had a total decline of symptoms with this treatment, the Tremor, falling frequently, stiffness, body weakness, balance issues, depression and others has subsided. After 5/6 months of using the Herbal medication, I was 100% free from Parkinson’s disease. I've really learned to appreciate life now. Having this disease has taught me patience and not to take the little things such as being able to talk or to smile for granted. This treatment is a breakthrough for all suffering from Parkinson’s, don’t give up Hope. Kunime herbs are truly gift from God. No more people have to be diagnosed and burdened with this disease. 409 209-0379
ReplyDeleteMy symptoms started at the age of 47. My fingers on my left hand were stiff and difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked if I was hurt. I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later, it was the onset of tremors starting in my right hand that caused my other symptoms to be recognized as Parkinson's. I am now 58. With the new herbal medicine I purchased from Dr Fredrick was my only way to get fast relief from this PD, his herbal supplement effectively reversed my Parkinson's disease condition and alleviated all my symptoms. for more help contact him via email: drfredrick95@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, I hope you are doing OK and coping with the PD. In your Huffington Post article about clawed toes, you mentioned that Sheryl Klingelhofer's exercises helped you. Are they still helping, and if so, could you playlist or specify which videos helped? Thank so much!
