Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder caused by degeneration of nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls movement. The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease depends on the presence of one or more of the four most common motor symptoms of the disease, namely: resting tremor, slow movement, rigidity and postural instability. Secondary and non motor symptoms are increasingly recognized by doctors as important to treating Parkinson’s disease.

BREAKTHROUGH PARKINSON'S DISEASE A.S.A.P.2
April is the international month for Parkinson's Disease or PD. How do you deal with having an illness like PARKINSON'S DISEASE or PD, especially if you're still young and agile as Michael J. Fox, the famous star of the movie, "Back to the Future" series? It would not be easy having your life completely affected and altered by the disease that would hamper your movement, speech and even memory.
You may have gone through it in A.S.A.P2., not just as soon as possible, but through ANGER, SORROW, ACCEPTANCE, PEACE AND PRAYER.
ANGER
" My own utterance I will not restrain; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness Of my soul. Am I the sea, or a monster of the deep, that you place a watch over me? Why have you set me up as an object of attack; or why should I be a target for you? When I say, " My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint," Then you affright me with dreams and with visions terrrify me, so that I should prefer choking and death rather than pains."
JOB 7: 11-15
When was your revelation time? Did you just wake up one morning noticing that your right hand is shaking at rest? You could hardly hold a cup of coffee without worrying that the hot liquid will spill on your fingers and scald you. It was totally unexpected and shocking! You had to summon all your will power to act normal and unaffected as you went through your daily routine of driving from your house to your private office. You went through the day's tasks and attended every meeting and couldn't wait to go home and pondered on your discovery. Maybe your first thought was ANGER. You shed tears of frustration because you've got the feeling that the resting tremors were not just due to lack of sleep or exhaustion. Perhaps you asked God why it had to happen when you've just been getting close to Him. Or maybe you've also decided to serve in a ministry and finally adopted a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy and exercising.
