My PD, 12 years. Soldier on…

Thursday 12th Mar

I’m Geoffrey, retired,  Financial IT, forced to retire by Parkinsons’  Disease (PD)

I have been living with PD for the last 12 years.  In February 2023, I had Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Prior to DBS, I was taking a tablet every 2 hours to manage my pd symptoms. At the time the Neurologist had suggested to do DBS. That’s my last chance and the only chance. I was so worried…
Thanks to him for his professionalism, expertise in the field, I was referred to a neurosurgeon who convinced me to go through the successful 6 hrs long surgery.  A big thank you all medical staff that helped me pulled through the surgery.
Otherwise I would have been bed-bound by now, I believe.

My current activities to help slow down my pd conditions while researchers are working on a treatment are: PD warrior, KOPD, Speech therapy, walking in local parks and attend community support activity.

With the help of IA, a new treatments / medications may come sooner rather than later.
Let’s hope this is on the horizon, PD Sufferers. 

Your contribution will be much appreciated 
And thank you for your continued supports.

Thank you to my Sponsors
