I want to share my thoughts with you,
If only the World knew
About Parkinson's disease
and how it takes control over our bodies.
Our muscles becomes more rigid ( stiff),
we have constipation problems,
or on the flip side - diarrhea
We may suffer depression, anxiety or irritability.
Then urinary problems-urgency to go- and nothing or just a trickle,
or on the other hand you can't hold it, and it flows.
Some wear diapers, where others may be catheterized.
Some have dry mouth causing dental and gum problems,
Still others have dry eyes, causing blurred vision, sometimes styes.
Some of us have tremors, and others don't.
We become slow thinkers, talkers and slow at doing things.
Quite a few of us are dealing with pain
Some have small handwriting .
Our voice becomes low or muffled sound
and often we have to repeat ourselves.
We may have problems concentrating.
Some drool, others don't. Some choke.
Some people shuffle as they walk, others don't.
Some loose their balance and some freeze,
as if their feet were glued to the floor.
Usually as time passes,
you may need a cane or walker or even a wheelchair.
We have cognitive changes- memory problems -personality changes and etc.
Unable to multi-task and some of the time unable to complete one task.
Some have a motionless look on our face, as if it were mask like.
Quite a few have insomnia, while others have vivid dreams
and some have acting out dreams.
Some have hallucinations, while others sleep well.
Some people have lost there sense to smell.
Some of us can't stand without falling.
As time passes, we need help dressing, eating, hygiene, bathing and etc.
Eventually, we will be bedridden and unable to do for ourselves.
CDC lists Parkinson's disease as the 14th leading cause of death in America.
