Living with Parkinson's: My Struggle and Frustration

@Ann_W Ann. Well one is not to the exclusion of the other. If you are a spiritual person you cannot separate your “self” into two different persons. You may think that is possible, but it’s not. Two activities found to be beneficial for Parkinson’s folks are stationary cycling and boxing. They help in balance and muscle control as does dancing. These three activities are “movements” and Parkinson’s is labeled a movement disorder, though it truly is more thank that. The boxing is also available on the internet - you can stream sessions on YouTube. God keeps you going. Period. A wonderful priest friend of mine told me “Brother, if God would forget you for one millisecond you would no longer exist.” Start with that, God, who is the Source of you, the one and only you. Now to the second part of your question - God can be and do anything. He already has - you are a miracle. Did God create Parkinson’s? I don’t know but I doubt it. From what I have read it seems to me that Parkinson’s is of human origin. Can God heal us or make us better? From my perspective experience the answer is yes. Have you asked God? And if so what did you ask? You can never know how the answer will manifest. It typically is not a yes or no that you will hear. Listen, yes, be aware of what you hear in your heart, but also God could easily answer by sending help through someone else, totally unexpected. It could be a drunken street person that might offend you at first impression, but that person might be Christ or an angel. This is much too long winded. Just know you are loved. Bless you. Brother.
