More on "My Father, My Brother and Me"

Today, at my support group meeting, we saw the first 20 minutes of the documentary "My Father, My Brother and Me". A very nice young lady from our local PBS station, KQED, brought the film and introduced it to us. Since the film is not due to air until February 3rd, we were only allowed to see the first 20 minutes, but those 20 minutes were powerful. I actually found that I had tears rolling down my cheeks a couple of times. I think this film will help people understand what Parkinson's is really like and what it's really about; what it means for patients and their loved ones. This is what we need, my friends.... exposure, education, insight.

Hello, I just found your site and I find some similarities in that we are both about educating and encouraging others facing PD type diseases. I have a Parkinsonism Plus disease, but many Parkinson's symptoms. Thank you for what you are doing. Your topics are refreshing.

Want to swap links and follow each other's blogs?

Take care, Dan

Hi Viewers,
My husband was diagnosed of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) 2 years ago at Patton State Hospital California, the doctor told us there was no known cure for the disease, we were given medications to help the symptoms. After 1 year and 2 months, the symptoms has got worse and we had to look for an alternative treatment since the doctors were not helping. I read an article online last 2 month about Dr. Yare herbal healing home in Africa who prepare and sell herbal medicines to cure all kind of disease including ALS/MND, I contacted the herbal Doctor through his email and purchased the ALS herbal remedy, we received the herbal remedy within 3 days and my husband immediately commenced usage, He drank the ALS herbal Tonic Doc. Yare prepared for him. OMG!! after 1 week of usage some of the symptoms like clumsiness and his very slurred speech had stopped, he continue usage the 4th week he'd got a lot better that even the doctors could not believe it. It totally cured him and we have told so many people about it. Now my husband can work a distance freely without any assistant. With doc. Yare, you can get that incurable disease cured. its all thanks to God and also to you Doc. Yare, for your continued help, and wonderful knowledge of God's life-saving herbs.You are truly a Godsent!! If you have or know anyone still suffering from ALS/MND/MSA/FSHD/MS or any other disease, you can contact him on: dryareherbalcurehome@gmail.com Call or Whatsup: +2348148010628, +2348164653711.

THE TRUE SOLUTION TO MARRIAGE , CHEATING , DIVORCE , AND RELATIONSHIP ISSUES
I will try to make this short as possible. In July I found out that my husband of almost 17yrs was having an affair and he actually brought this woman to my home. I was devestated to say the least. I met my husband 18yrs ago and he swept me off my feet and we got married 11months after we met. We had a great marriage (I thought) we have two beautiful boys. In 2015 we moved 800 miles away to a very small town due to his job. I quit my high paying job at a company that I had worked at for 14yrs to move away from my family and job/career to be a stay at home mom. Then here we are 2 and 1/2 years later going through a divorce and no job. I felt schizophrenic going through all of these emotions from acceptance, to denial, to how can this be and back again. I tried all the best effort i could to get him back from this woman whom he was havingan affiar with, and make him see how much i love to be with him. but he insisted he never wanted to be with me anymore. Its was almost 4 months since he started living with this other woman, then i decided to use Dr joy spells for help because i had no other choice and i felt everything was lost to me. I had the most wonderful and happy marriage after using his spell in just 24 hours, and that was how my marital life was fixed back to its right track. If you are one of the people who is in a loveless and unhappy marriage that cannot be salvaged (and you can only determine that by being very honest with yourself), believe me…there IS light at the end of this tunnel.

I'm a lucky lady. I have a wonderful husband of 27 years, a fantastic 25 year old son (I'm so proud of him!) a loving and supportive family, the best friends in the world, a job that I love, and... Parkinson's Disease. I was diagnosed in September 2006. That was a jolt, but I'm learning to deal with it.
