What a lovely and thoughtful question! You are the greatest, MDS! Nice experiences - my new husband of 4 years now - I had PD when I met him. He expects me to be normal and that helps me to Be normal. He gives me wonderful adventures in the nearby forests, mountains, and lakes near our home. He takes me 4-wheeling and cross country skiing while he & his son 4-wheel nearby. I have started fishing again and have learned to bowhunt and rifle hunt. This website has given me penpals and people all over the world that I can contact at any time of the day or night (depending on their time zones) when I need someone who understands. I have phoned someone in Australia late at night when I was home alone with my adult stepson who was drunk and frightening me. I have messaged someone in England in the wee hours of the morning when I felt I couldn't go on. I have helped edit the autobiography of a very fascinating man I met on this website and have developed a lovely cyber friendship with his incredible wife. I have enjoyed sharing poetry and artwork with fellow Parkies here and on Facebook. Sometimes my ideas are way ahead of my abilities, but that just slows me down, it doesn't stop me. You go guy, and all the rest of the folks on this website who fight instead of quit!

Found out because of pd whom are fakes and whom are genuine.

Definitely that's what happened to me.

Hey, Megan Fujawa! The crew needs you!
Terrible! ❤

I have met and made friends with so many wonderful people from all over the world. People who have helped trace long lost family members, people who have supported me through tough times in hospital, people I would never have met and come to know if not being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. That and those concerned have all been a blessing.
