Ohio Teabaggers Taunt Man with Parkinson’s

Not since Rush Limbaugh mocked Michael J. Fox on his radio show have I been so outraged by so-called “conservatives” treatment of a person with Parkinson’s disease.
Disgusting.
Protesters on both ends of the health care debate squared off in competing rallies outside the Columbus, Ohio office of district Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH), who says she’s [...]

The Curse of Nightly Throat Crud!

OK, I pretty much spend all day (ahem) clearing my throat and (ahem) driving Gail nuts.  But it gets worse at night.
Last night was the worst ever.  I would be in the middle of saying something and all of a sudden (clot!) have to stop because a wad of throat crud got caught in my [...]

Guidelines for Treating the OTHER Symptoms

When you talk to most people about Parkinson’s disease, the first thing that comes to their minds (I surmise) is the image of an old, shaky man or woman, walking with a shuffle.  But those in the know are aware that Parkinson’s disease is so much more than a disease that affects motor function.

Nothing I do seems to matter.
Every night.  Every single night.  About an hour before bedtime, my trachea and larynx feel like they’re filling up with a very [...]

My Body, My Own! (For Now!)

This card means that the instant I'm dead, I am the property of Anatomy Gifts Registry.  BUT NOT UNTIL THEN!

Well, kids, I know where I’m going when I die.  I’m not talking about anything supernatural or metaphysical… I’m talking about the physical reality of death and what’s gonna happen to this old, Parky body of mine.
I MAY be coming to a Medical School near YOU!
That’s right, boys and girls.  My body, my Earthly remains, [...]

Public Relations 101: “Don’t Piss Off Donors”

Public Relations 101: “Don’t Piss Off Donors”

I‘ve only been doing public relations/public affairs for a few years… like, oh…10 or so when you include my time in the Navy.  But one thing I’ve known from the start.
When someone says something nice about your organization in print, especially when that person is raising money (however little it may be), you can do [...]
