Dear Andy, I'm 20 years older than your daughter, but learned so much from her grace and strength in dealing with a parent with Parkinson's. My own dad was recently diagnosed and tonight has been a particularly emotional evening for me. Luckily, I stumbled across your videos. They have helped me feel so much better, more hopeful and at peace. I sincerely hope you and your amazing family are doing well.

Thank you very much for your kind words Mel, we will pass on to Andy. We wish you and your dad the very best. Attitude

"And the other thing I've got back is my smile..." Holy hell that was earth-shattering. I didn't even realize until that point that he never really smiled.

I'm so glad that it helped him. His relationship with his daughters is so lovely, I'm very happy for this family that this treatment could help restore some quality of life. :)

Such a remarkable family - with a sister about to go through this surgery at a similar age with similar symptoms...this has been incredibly helpful! So happy for Andy and his family and praying the same will be true for my sister soon.

This made me sad and happy all at the same time. My wife at 59 was just diagnosed with PD...i must admit I am scared and in denial at the same time. I see changes a spouse would only see. I pray there must be a cure soon.

[@Foundinthewoodsbushcraft]

This is a beautiful story. I am so happy for him and his lovely family.

My husband had DBS in 2012. It was quite miraculous for 3 years but it can't keep up with the progression of the disease. 😪

[@ahmadinejad6666]

Hi Cathy, but was now is he worse than before the surgery or is he back to the same point ?

[@alloz6731]

Tremor In Parkinson’s “It also appears to be the case that tremor is the only symptom of Parkinson’s disease that may improve on its own - some who had severe tremors have seen them virtually disappear over the period of a decade. Tremors also rarely continue to worsen beyond a certain point - at some point the tremor will plateau.” For more information go to Facebook Group: Parkinson's thiamine hcl

[@whitneyalexander2312]

God is good I'm happy for him that all is well seeing how much of a different it made with surgery

[@Chris-kr7gg]

Funny that most illness is lifestyle related yet, Drs never seem to make the connection.
