THE BIRTH OF A DREAM..


On most weekends my father would opt to leave his car at home and go about his errands using public transport. Sometime in 2001 he requested me to accompany him to Nairobi Hospital. He was going to purchase some of the drugs prescribed for him to control the tremors that are a symptom of Parkinson disease. Being a weekend he decided that we should use public transport to the hospital. We made our way to the pharmacy at Nairobi Hospital bought the drugs and started our journey back. When we got to the city center we alighted at Ambassador and walked towards the bus stop along Tom Mboya street. The entire street was packed with hawkers trying to sell their ware. I was holding my fathers hand so that people don’t bump on to him. Out of nowhere a man started hurling insults at us……”Ondoa huyu mlevi wako kwa njia tupite” (move that drunkard of yours out of the way). For a moment there I was not sure whether to react angrily and insult the man or to simply keep quiet and forgive him for he didn’t know what my father was going through. This man simply looked at how my father was struggling to walk and how he was shaking and took him for a drunk. I was very angry at the man for insulting my father but at that point I realized how much people didn’t have knowledge on Parkinsons Disease and the kind of struggles patients have to go through as they live each day with the disease.
Through that mans lack of knowledge and his insults a dream was born. Ever since that day I got an urge to let people know what my father was ailing from and the struggles that we as a family had to go through. Now I am living the dream each day as I share my experiences on Parkinson’s disease.

  2. I am a 51 year old female that just found out I have Motor Neuron Disease Parkinson's about a year and half, but I have been having signs of it for years, tremors, depression, body weakness. ECT. I honestly don't think my doctor was reading the signs because of my gender and age. A few years ago I had my shoulder lock up on me and I was sent to a P.T since x-rays didn't show any physical damage. My shaking was getting worse and I began falling. Only when my speech became so bad that it brought concern to my dentist was Parkinson's even considered. He phoned my doctor with his concerns about my shaking and balance problems. By this time I was forgoing shots in the back of my neck for back and neck pain to which once again I was sent to a P.T (although x-rays showed no damage) I was told I had a few spurs which were most likely causing the pain. Here I was feeling like my whole body was falling apart and doctor could not find anything wrong, maybe in was all in my head? My doctor even seemed annoyed with me and things just kept progressing and I just kept it to myself, why bother going through testing and them finding nothing? Well, it was after my second P.T called my doctor about the weakness in my legs and arms, by this time I have developed a gait in my walk and I fell more frequently. Only then did my doctor send me to a specialist and it was found that I had Parkinson's, and that I have had it for awhile. I think because I was a woman that my signs and symptoms weren't taken seriously and therefor left untreated for so long,I was taking pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily, I Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off.I found that none of the current medications worked effective for me.I got tired of using those medication so I decided to apply natural herbs formula that was prescribed to me by my second P.T, i purchase the herbal formula from totalcureherbsfoundation. com, There has been huge progression ever since I start the treatment plan which will last for 15 weeks usage.all the symptoms and sign has begin to disappear .
