Read MoreWelcome to the Deep Brain Thoughts Blog!
I use this blog to share my story on my journey with Parkinson’s disease. Along the way, I’ll throw in some posts on technology (since I’m also a computer “geek”), and some of my own thoughts on various topics (like Common Sense!) But all in all, for the most part I’ll try to keep it centered on Parkinson’s. It’s my hope that some of my thoughts, stories, and humor will be able to help someone else who may be struggling with the same PD issues myself — and really all of us with PD — face each day. Always remember — YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
So relax a bit… Read… Do some research, and become more knowledgeable… Share a laugh or two… and just make yourself at home!
