PD Research News
Every Saturday night, I fill up my pill box for the next week. A week ago last night, because I’m a moron, I didn’t notice that there were only 4 Stalevo left after I filled up the box for this week. Last night, I filled up the box again and saw that I had enough Stalevo to get through… today.
Problem? Yes. Here’s why.
It’s a battle of wills between two strong and stubborn women.
On one side is Gail. My wife. The woman I love more than life itself.
On the other, Raven. My border collie. Smartest breed of dog.
The battle?
Bill Schmalfeldt is serving notice. It's time for Parkinson's disease patients to stop being invisible. It's time for a nationwide effort to raise awareness about crippling degenerative neurological disorder and the havoc it wreaks on American families -- approximately 1.5 million people currently have a PD diagnosis with 50-thousand new cases each year. Having had PD himself since 2000 at age 45, Bill volunteered for experimental brain surgery in 2007. In "Put On Your Parky Face" Bill spins a humorous, poignant, sometimes angry tale about his life with this incurable progressive neurological condition. He will soon retire from Federal service, planning to use his remaining time, focus and energy to help fund the research that will find the cure. In fact, 100% of the author proceeds from this book will be donated to Parkinson's research charities. This book should be owned by anyone who has Parkinson's, anyone who knows someone with PD, or anyone who might GET Parkinson's someday -- in other words... YOU!
Also available as a $15 paperback at Create Space and as a $5 Kindle book at Amazon.com.
