My Life With Parkinson's Disease ...and other stuff that I find irritating and annoying.
Parkinson's Disease Research and News ...along with news, opinion and other bloggy kinda stuff.
Did our weekly grocery shopping today. One thing I’m grateful for is the fact that my walker has a seat on it so I can sit and relax while Gail peruses the kidney beans.
So, I’m seated on the walker and after a few minutes of examining the kidney beans Gail walks up with a big [...]
If you have Parkinson’s disease or know someone who does, the names are all familiar. Mirapex, Requip, Parlodel, Permax and Neupro. A recent look at more than 30 years of clinical trials examined these drugs, commonly used in the earlier stages of Parkinson’s disease, and compared them against a placebo for adverse side effects.
In all [...]

Parkinson’s Disease Drugs! Get on the bandwagon and make money while the money is good! Do it quick before those eggheads fiddling around with GENES go ahead and RUIN everything by finding a CURE or something!

This is a book I’ve been writing, mostly on this blog and others, since February 2007. And today, I feel like it’s ready to be shopped out to an agent or a publisher.
This is my first effort at non-fiction. I have one published fiction novel “…by the people…” (which you can check out by clicking the link… it’s cheap, funny and good! And cheap.
