nexNeuro

Living with Parkinson’s for 8 years

I know first-hand the feelings of fear, depression and “Why Me?” Like everybody else, I was down in the dumps when the doctor diagnosed with me Parkinson’s disease.  Knowing that the degenerative disease is progressive and will impair my motor skills, speech and other physical functions is bad enough, but learning that there is no cure was a real shock.

After a bout of depression and visiting a stream of doctors, I decided that this was my battle and I was not going to let Parkinson’s cripple me without a fight.  I decided that the thing to do is to stay active and not get negative thoughts running through my head.  When a person who is positive, it is easier for him to fight Parkinson’s, because if you get down in the dumps with it, you’re going to get depressed and it will consume every waking moment.

No matter what stage of the disease you’re at, you must maintain a positive attitude and the mental fortitude to challenge every Parkinson’s symptom.

Recently, I found nexNeuro …..……. For me, the downhill slide has ended; my life has turned around 180 degrees.

nexNeuro has turned back the clock on PD, giving me back my mobility; the ability to exercise and stay active, but most importantly they have given me what I need most…………“HOPE”

See how the nexNeuro System has changed my life

JUNE 2004

I had been living with the symtoms of PD for about 4 years,

but was officially diagnosed at Rush Medical Center with

Parkinson’s disease in June of 2004

JANUARY 2009

4 years after being diagnosed, Parkinson’s had advanced to the point where my mobility had become very limited.  Arriving for my 1st session, I was in pretty bad shape – a lot of bad days with very few good days
