About Me
- Chris Irwin "We Never Know What Strength We Have Until Life Begins To Test Us"
- I am married to a wonderful man named Jeff and we have three beautiful daughters all who are grown and have two children of their own. About five years ago I suddenly felt ill and when I say suddenly that is exactly what I mean. How does one feel perfectly fine one day and the next your whole world is turned upside down. I went from doctor to doctor trying to find out the cause of my illness and eventually about a year and a half ago I finally got a diagnosis, not one I wanted but at least I had an answer. My diagnosis was Parkinsons Disease. My husband and I were in shock to say the least. We cried together and held each other. What was our future going to be like. we know we have a long road ahead of us and I am sure many obstacles but we have each other. We have the support of our Family and Friends to help us along the way. I am creating this blog to give insight to others about Parkinsons Disease and to let everyone know that we are all different and succumb to this disease at our own pace. No two people are alike that is why I named my Blog "Parkin at Your Own Pace". Feel free to follow along with me on my journey and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I Will Never Walk Alone He Will Be With Me Until The End

Go To Hell!
I am a very realistic person and recently I inquired about Long Term Health Care Insurance. I know sometime in the future I will need long term health care either in a Nursing Home or at home. Believe it or not I was told that I should have looked into this before I was diagnosed with Parkinsons. I told the woman on the phone if I had known that I was going to get this disease at such a young age I would have inquired sooner. She told me (rudely) there was no way I would be able to obtain this insurance now that I was already diagnosed. I told her to go to hell and I hung up.............I have been told the same thing by many insurance agents. I told my husband not to worry when the time comes I will just dig a hole and jump in, he said not without me you won't...LOL
