Wow David! You have zero Parkinson's symptoms showing as you are sitting so still! The red light therapy is really helping you! Look forward to your updates and seeing how long the redlight therapy lasts. God bless!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Owen, thank you for your kind words and for noticing something I did not, but someone else mentioned the same things as you did in this video. Astounding that I did not notice the difference in myself. Taking a break from the red light for a few days to see what happens when I stop. Talk to you soon😀😊😀

[@SDWP]

You guys are adorable. Thanks for sharing.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks Michele, we had a great afternoon😀😊

[@charliea1662]

Well done your daughter! We don’t hear very much about Type 1/Diabetes, we hear a lot about Type 2….to encourage her I am 70 yrs old, and I have had diabetes type 1 for about 65 years, being diagnosed at age 5 years. I have had a full life, and given birth to two amazing sons. I have been Mayor of my City, and Chair of the Authority. I have been a Probation Officer and worked with Offenders as a major part of my life. I just want to encourage her, go for whatever you want to do and achieve in your life, you can do it. The advances in treatment are huge since I was diagnosed, and that is so very good. Lots of love to you, keep going……XXX there will be a proper cure one day soon ❤️❤️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Charlie, thank you for your kind words and encouraging comment. I have passed this along to Felicia. It sounds like you have lived a full and active life so far I am sure many are very grateful for your continued perseverance and optimism. I really appreciate you taking the time to share a bit of your story and for leaving this comment. Thank you for watching and supporting this channel. 🙂❤️🙏

[@charliea1662]

Thank you! I send thoughts to all of your family, well done for keeping going and facing obstacles so stoically. I will follow this channel, think I am subscribed? I always want to encourage particularly young people who have Type 1, and Felicia seems a wonderful young woman, and she I am certain will live a great life, I send her all my thoughts and encouragement as she goes on in lifeXX ❤❤and to you too, we had a friend who had Parkinson’s and did very well for a good length of time. He died in early 70’s. The treatments are evolving all the time, and I am sure break throughs will happen. When I think of the treatment I had as a child was way different to now, huge great needles ( we had to boil them up to disinfect! ) And much more. Take care, diabetes is controllable. I never had anyone to talk to! But I am so thankful to still be alive, and so thankful for my lovely family, we are soon to be Granparents for the second time! God bless you, and I will be thinking of you both, and I love hearing Felicia talk about being high or low! Just as I have! Good for you all 👍👍❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️⭐️

[@leciag]

@@charliea1662 Thank you so much for your words and encouragement! It's crazy to think how far technology has come from boiling needles to disinfect them to being able to read our blood sugars on our phone via blue tooth. I always love being able to connect with other diabetics and hearing part of their story. Thank you for sharing some of yours!

[@charliea1662]

@@leciag that’s great! Well done you! Social media is pretty amazing! I am based in England, love to hear more from you in due course XX so nice to have this contact, and with your Dad. You are both very brave XX 👏🏻👏🏻

[@feliciaspira3793]

Thank you for your willingness to open up about your experiences. I look forward to hearing more from you and your Dad. I, too, have Parkinson’s and am just now trying to learn about what my future will be.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Felicia thank you so much for your comment did you see the first video? The other one will come out next Saturday. Thank you so much for watching and joining this channel you are most welcome 😃🙏😀

[@leciag]

Hello from a fellow Felicia! I had such a great time being able to film these videos alongside my dad! I hope to join in on a couple more in the future! I know the PD community has really helped our family figure out what a new future looks like in such a stressful time. We can so glad you are here and welcome to the community!

[@angelakindon9839]

So glad she came on!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Me too, I am very grateful, thank you for all of your comments😀😁😊

[@Pamcee3]

This was so informative! Thank you both so much. I appreciate you putting so much time into these videos. 🥰

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks Pam. We are very glad you like the videos ☺️😃🖐️

[@Pamcee3]

@@LifewithParkinsons I really do love your videos David. As a caregiver, I have learned so much about really understanding what my husband goes through by watching them. You give us a window to be able to see and understand things that maybe our partners don’t share with us. Thank you so very much. You are like that Bestie we all need who keeps it real with us. ❤️

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Pam, your comment is incredibly heart warming, thank you for your kind words, and for considering me a friend. I am so happy that you are able to see into your husband's world a little better. As a caregiver I know you just want what's best for him. It's difficult when we just can't fix it. I will publish part 3 of 3 in a couple days. Not sure if you saw it but here is the link to part 2 of 3. 😀😁😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIHOiauGg62SpM0

[@MaggieG70]

I love the relationship between you and your daughter! Three of my 4 brothers have Parkinson’s disease. I’m beginning to be afraid I have it to. I have a lot of the non-motor symptoms. I’m 70 next year. I thought I had escaped the genetic pool. My brothers all started showing symptoms at 60. I just found you today and subscribed 😊

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Margie. I am so glad you found our channel. It is such an honor and a privilege to share my Parkinson's journey with others such as your brother's and possibly yourself. I do hope you don't have Parkinson's but either way I'm happy to know you and to share my journey. Thanks for taking the time to say hello 😀🖐️😃

[@shsharrell9267]

Felicia is a very intelligent and wise young lady. Thank you Felicia for explaining diabetes so anyone can understand. My husband is a diabetic and this was very helpful.

Loved interactions and how your daughter was able to share parts of her journey, you hadn’t known. Best wishes and prayers for both of you.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thank you so much Sharon. It was a great afternoon with Felicia filming the episodes. You get caught up in the day to day stuff so often you don't get time to talk about those memories. So glad we did. What I thought was a single episode turned into three, and could have been more. Thanks for watching😀😁😊

[@JeremyMcdonald]

Thx Felicia and David. Great video.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks Jeremy, glad you watched and enjoyed it. Thanks for your support😀😁😊

[@angelakindon9839]

I never knew all this about diabetes!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

It's very interesting how the on and off symptoms of PD are similar to the lows and highs of diabetes.

[@jimmcconnell7328]

You two are so cute together,joking around while talking about serious conditions you both have. I enjoy your channel. Laughter they say is the best medicine and I believe in that.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks Jim. It was such a joy to be able to film those episodes with my daughter. I can't wait to release the next one. I can't agree with you more about the laughter. Thanks for the comment😀😊😁

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Tom, yes thanks for the B1 heads up, have tried it and it didn't go so well for me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/norOlYJ9e9eUi5o Have been having good success with red light therapy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2XYh4yphad8lcU Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment😀😁😊

[@sharoncribbs7516]

Do you take B1 in tablet form or infusion Tom? I have had one treatment by infusion along with some other B vitamins and glutathione. It did seem to help for a while.

[@angelakindon9839]

Sounds like an 8-yr old!:)

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Yup
