I Have Or Know Someone With Parkinson's

I was out with my granddad in a restaurant today. He had ordered a starter. Some soup.

When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, I was too young to be told about it. And after that, nobody ever talked about it. He didn't have symptoms, and I guess nobody wanted to talk about it much.

So it never really sunk in, for me, that he has Parkinson's disease. As I watched him eating his soup, it shocked me just how much his hands were shaking. It scared me too. It also made me very, very sad.

Incurable diseases suck.

There is hope. Check out 'Ride With Larry' on youtube - watch the series where he takes his first puffs of weed. Unbelievable. This is a retired cop sharing the info. Night & day difference.

@RoboChloe: No one has ever died of marijuana overdose. No one. You could at least show him the video.

Yes, marijuana might help!

Even if it were legal, available, or affordable for him, I don't think he'd do it. Out of principle. He's that kind of person.

Here's the finale - you'll probably want to watch all 3 parts, each less than 3 minutes ...

It is very hard to watch someone going through this. ☹️

Indeed it's sad. The medication for Parkinson's is not very effective..so most end up with dementia.
