I'm 73 and am struggling horribly with PD. I am having problems walking. My legs and back stiffen up terribly. My meds aren't working that well. I have had it since 2010 but wasn't diagnosed until 2016. The last year has gotten worse. I am a Vietnam vet 100% VA disabled exposed to Agent Orange. I don't know if it's different than people who get it from other ways but I am down in the trenches emotionally. You are a brave man Jimmy I admire you but this disease has worn me down. I have a Neurologist but I don't get to see him often and the VA doesn't do much.

Hi Jimmy, I just got my diagnosis of Parkinson's disease 1 week ago and wanted you to know how encouraging your video is to me. I have been doing a lot of research while waiting to finally see a neurologist and most of what I've read or heard has been very discouraging. I know that it's important to know the truth and to have realistic expectations, but it's so encouraging to hear from someone like you who has found ways to improve their lives and actually thrive! Thanks for giving me hope for my future!

I’m 64 and was diagnosed in Feb of 2022. Went through doom and gloom for a while. Many tears. I still have moments but overall I look forward positively. Exercise exercise exercise!

What a brave man ❤

Wow dude u are extremely stong❤ I pray and support you for being so strong I will pray for u everyday I'm so happy 😢

Thanks Jimmy. My husband, aged 62 was diagnosed with PD two years ago. Together we work at doing what we can so he can lead his best life. He has a great attitude and I do a lot of research to keep up to the latest treatments and studies but it doesn’t consume us. We’ve been on two boat and bike trips in the last couple of years and going on another one this fall. He still sails and plays with our grandchildren too. Just taking it a day at a time! Thanks for all your great advice and positivity! 🥰🙌👏😁

I am 67, was recently diagnosed, although they tried to diagnose everything but PD it seems, but seeing videos like yours is encouraging - thanks.

Awesome advice! Spreading awareness. One story at a Time.❤😊

God bless you my man . You are giving people reason to beak the shackles of Parkinson and free themselves.

Hi Jimmy , i was so inspired by your life. I was diagnosed with PD 6 yrs ago, im 51 yrs old now.

Hang in there Ritchie. I’m 57 and was diagnosed Jan 2022. Find an excellent boxing gym and get a coach and take one on one lessons from that person. That’s what I am doing and it’s made a world of difference. Rock Steady Boxing is great for much older people but we’re not old. Find a boxing coach that will get in your face and make you do things work out wise you don’t want to. The motivation will help.

Thanks, Jimmy. I needed encouragement.

God bless you, Jimmy.

I really appreciate your honesty and encouragement! You are my inspiration!💕🙏🏼

My partner of 37 years was diagnosed with PD but they changed it to MSA-P. He's slowly being tortured to death. I've never seen anything like this. Shortly before his diagnosis my mother died of LBD and three months later my father of pulmonary fibrosis. I'm trying to stay positive but it's beyond challenging. It's been 7 years of watching my loved ones die but MSA-P is especially a slow agonizing death. Watching your partner or spouse die like this is like living with a permanently broken heart. I'm his caregiver. Been to ER twice in 3 years.

Mother just died of Parkinson’s, and I’m terrified! I have to wonder at every turn what is happening. I’m viewing the world differently now. Everything is a neurone. I’m loading up on supplements to prevent any disease. And walking everywhere. Anxiety and worry is debilitating also. So I’m taking supplements for that too.

People do not die of Parkinson's. There is no genetic connection with your family tree that results in PD for you. Toxic environment likely to be connected as a cause. Educate yourself by watching many informative medical KZread videos.

Super hero, that is the way to deal with Parkinson's disease. Thank you 😂

You are such an inspiration! I have 2 Rocksteady affiliates in San Diego and coach privately! I am sure you eat healthy and take good supplements- So my question to you is: have you noticed any reduction in your symptoms?

Thanks Jimmy. I needed that.

Many thanks Jimmy. You are an inspiration.

I am just at the beginning, at 70 years old…still being evaluated and diagnosed, but I am being positive, and believe your way of handling this is the best. I just subscribed and w/ check in w/ you as I continue my journey. Thanks so much.

Dear Jimmy, I was diagnosed one and half year ago. After reading most of the scientific litterature on the subject i can corroborate one thing. Exercise and attitude are the Best tools to deal with the disease actually You were an inspiration for me so I didn’t had to spent to much Time on the dark side of the moon, and I Thank you very much for that. To the researchers who have been searching for almost 200 years I politely say this. Stop looking for a miracle pill, a silver bullit that could heal an infinitely complex disease like Parkinson’s. Intuitively look into what compromises the carbohydrate or the protein metabolisms, although very complex, what is the root causes of inflammation and oxydation in the brain and the gut and what’s to expect from neuroplasticity, because people like us are willing to take actions and not just Levodopa every 5 hours. Congrats for all your marathons and prowess at ANW. Regards PM

Thanks for this Video 😊

Excellent. Thanks. This helps.

Four years ago. How are you doing today, 2024? I really need to know.

Thank you

@@rosemaryclarke6250 See a neurologist for medication to smooth PD symptoms, and trainer for the physical aspect and a psychologist for the emotional-mental aspect. PD is a bummer. Don't make it the centre of your life.

Hi Jimmy At least you have something positive to say. Thank you. Too many videos talk negatively. I'm 65 and recently diagnosed. Anyone I tell just say ' oh that's awful' ' glad the meds help' and then change the conversation to something else. I always hated exercise. But I walked a lot. Do you think just walking is good enough?

@alecspeer

Yes, walking is good enough. As brisk as is comfortable for you.

Great things Dr Madida on KZread has being doing for mankind, I undergo his Parkinson disease treatment plan for weeks and my Parkinson Disease was completely reversed...💫

If this were the case, there would be such a world-wide clamour about this "reversal".

Are you on meds?

Are you on the medication?

Your movement and action give me the impression that you are a normal person and not one with Parkinson's disease.
