No Drugs, No Worries: In September 2010, when I began this blog, I was exploring alternative therapies for Parkinson's Disease. Half a year later, suffering with worsening symptoms, I began taking medication. This blog continues to chronicle the effect of PD on my life and how I cope.

My First Unity Walk
The Parkinson's Unity Walk in Central Park, New York City was a new experience. I walked with some of my Rock Steady class and another group from Central New Jersey. We also demonstrated our moves doing a plank exercise and punching mitts. It was worth going to support our coaches and my classmates. I am not really an activist sort, but I did raise some money for PD research through my Facebook page.
Meanwhile, I keep going 3 times a week to box and taking lots of supplements, eating healthy food (if too much sometimes) and doing things I love. That's a good mix, but I'm feeling, not enough. I'm still searching for the right combination to beat this disease - for good.
