Hi from downunder.

Hi,newbie from Australia here.

I'm married to an American lady but we are apart right now because she is still in Minnesota waiting

I'm into cooking,gardening,aviation ,reading ,movies .
I am open to discussion on anything really so hit me up for a chat.

Oh, well we argue here if somebody disagrees with us. House rules.

If you think a ball is red and someone else sees orange, you argue for days about it.

Hello and welcome Paul!

Sorry to hear that mate. That's tough news to deal with.
I recommend acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for a lot of different conditions.
Here's an article about Parkinson's and acupuncture
Ask the MD: Acupuncture and Parkinson's
...and another about Parkinson's and Chinese herbs
Chinese medicine offers new Parkinson's treatments

I hope you'll be ok. It's got to be scary having a diagnosis like that

You mentioned you have Parkinson's Disease, do you experience hallucinations?

 

No not yet but was only diagnosed a couple of months ago ,i don't know what the future holds.

 

I think sigs are turned off by default
