Before I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), I only knew one thing about it: that it causes tremors. I had never dreamed of the cornucopia of symptoms that I now get to experience on a daily basis. Case in point: Dry Eyes. From time … Continue reading Dry Eyes

The date is finally set for my Refractive Lens Exchange surgery. Assuming I pass one final evaluation at the end of this week, I will get my bionic eyeballs on July 31st.

Here’s something the vast majority of you will have absolutely no interest in: During July 2010, I went to a family reunion. Now, don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with stories/pictures of my family. I only mention it because four of us did … Continue reading Idaho (July 2010)
Note: this is a continuation from Part 1. Well, I’ve got it all figured out now. The drastic change in symptoms that I described in Part 1 was due to nicotine poisoning. When I ran out of my initial two-week supply of nicotine patches, I … Continue reading Sudden Change in Symptoms (Part 2)
