SUMMARY:Jennifer Heath
DESCRIPTION:“I have been feeling completely untethered from what my lif
 e once  was and what I thought it would be\\,  especially since losing my
  mom a few months ago. Ever since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Dise
 ase\\, almost 12 years ago\\, I have tried to approach it with a sense of
  humor\\, day by day\\, with a strong focus on exercise as that is the on
 ly known thing to slow progression. There were two main things that reall
 y kept me focused on exercising so progression could be as slow as possib
 le. The first of these was simple economics. I could not afford to retire
  yet as my pension would be substantially decreased\\, and I would lose m
 y benefits. The second of these was love of family and friends\\, and my 
 desire to continue to enjoy quality time with them. Quality time is much 
 harder to come by as more and more symptoms pop up. It’s always a chall
 enge to know exactly how much to share\\, as most days it is overwhelming
  to think about what is happening inside my body\\, let alone try to expl
 ain it to the people who love me most of all. \\nThese lyrics from “Not
  the One” by RHCP pretty much sum up my state of mind “I don’t look
  like myself in photographs. Long days of time have been unkind“. \\nUn
 fortunately\\, Parkinson’s comes with a mind of its own which seems to 
 be a  cruel sense of humor combined with  a wicked streak of sarcasm. I�
 �ve completely lost my determination\\, as it now seems that for every st
 ep forward I take\\, it knocks me back  2 or 3  steps. My mindset of late
  has me feeling as though it really won’t make much of a difference how
  much I exercise\\, so why bother. And these  are the reasons that led me
  to Storyectomy..."\\n⬇️ READ THE REST OF JENNIFER'S STORY IN THE COM
