Hello and welcome to my website.
My name is Stephayne and I have Parkinson’s Disease. Abnormal striatal activity in the putamen bilaterally is one of the ingredients on my ingredients label. I never drank, smoked or had a head injury. They still do not know what causes this disease and there is no cure. I was young and fit when this disease changed my life forever.
The purpose of this website is to share our experience with the disease in as close to real time as we can. Sharing our experiences as they occur, while they are fresh in our minds. This is the best way for us to share these experiences since, there is no dilution of our thoughts and memories due to passing time.
Advertising on this site? You will find links to items on Amazon and possibly other stuff here. These links and ads are mine and when you click on one, I get credit for what you buy there, it does not have to be that particular item. The pennies add up and since we do not have any type of health insurance, every penny helps. We all agree, why provide this content to social media sites so they get all the pennies? Any advertising you see on this site is placed here by us and any pennies generated come directly to us. This allows me to keep this website up and most importantly, available to everyone in the U.S.A. with no membership or account required.
This blog will be used to raise awareness as well but, I don’t really know how many people will actually happenstance across my website without searching specifically for Parkinson’s Disease or my name. Perhaps, and most importantly, my ramblings here will reduce the mystery of what can happen to a normal person and family confronted with this disease. Hopefully, I may be able comfort and provide relevant information to anyone who may be going through this as well.
