Dennis Is Not Alone

I have been receiving a few emails from care-givers, lately. It seems there are a few undiagnosed Parkinson's related diseases existing in the world. They all have quite a bit in common, but none completely match what Dennis is going through.

Something is fishy. I don't believe anyone is out there, hiding the truth from us - I am not a complete nut - but, there seems to be a few too many undiagnosed, neurological disorders that is complicating the lives of too many baby boomers.

Or, perhaps, these diseases have always been in existence.

It really does not matter. Dennis is suffering from a disease his brain is controlling. Or, perhaps it is a disease that his brain lacks control over. We don't know what it is, this nasty thing. There is no stopping this disorder, not right now. We can somewhat control the symptoms, but we cannot stop the progression. Not today.

I hope someday the medical world will figure out how the brain works, how to fix malfunctions and how to keep the brain from interfering with everyone living the best life. This most likely will not happen in Dennis' lifetime. Maybe none of our lifetimes. But it seems to me, it should be at least pursued a bit more aggressively.
