Day by Day with Parkinson's and Peripheral Neuropathy

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Peripheral Neuropathy in 2006, but my symptoms seemed to take a turn in a different direction in late 2007. The current diagnosis is Essential Myoclonus. You will find record here of a my journey - coping with the testing, the medicines, nutrition, digestion problems, exercise, the emotions, and no telling what else!

The Bolt Factory

I guess I'd better explain the Bolt Factory significance, in case I decide to share this blog. We live within a quarter of a mile of an EPA designated toxic site that has been cleaned up. Trouble is, we lived here all the years it was contaminating the area with heavy metals. Now I'm having neurological problems. In our little neighborhood there has been a high incidence of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, and all kinds of cancers. My own mother died of Alzheimer's Disease. On the other hand, my Daddy is 101, and the lady across the street just passed away at 100.

So, for what it's worth, I really do need to remember to tell Dr. S about where we live. All the information about the heavy metals that were found here are on the Internet, with the kinds of problems they can cause.
