One of my goals in this blog and in my life is to increase the understanding of Parkinson's disease among those who don't live with the disease. I have read, heard, and experienced so much about PD myself that I sometime lose sight of the fact that not everyone knows what Sinemet is, or that it causes dyskinesias or that DBS is not a new procedure. Since PD is quite isolating and those with more advanced disease often don't get out in public much, it behooves those of us who are higher functioning to work assiduously toward this kind of increased awareness.
Just such an opportunity popped up for me this morning. I got an email from a physical therapy professor whom I met at the Sunflower symposium. She asked If I would come to her class next week and talk about the importance of exercise for PD and let the students try out their evaluation procedure on me. Fortunately my calendar is clear that day. I will be proud to do what I can in the awareness department. Future PTs make a great audience, too. I hope you will do what you can to promote awareness in whatever arena the opportunity arises.
