About Me, Maria
I am a woman in her sixties, retired, even better, happily retired. Luckily, I could retire at 60 after being a teacher. “Lucky me” meaning staying at home, indulging myself in doing almost nothing, or very little, helped my degenerative disease.
In 2012, I received the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. I continued to work for four more years, after that I said: “Goodbye, school!”
The passage from work to a perpetual vacation was, for me, quiet and pleasant. Each day, my condition improved. No more stress, no more anxiety. My preoccupations were cooking (not too much), watching movies on Netflix, reading, walking.
My doctor told me that my Parkinson’s is mild. Let me clarify, the particular symptom I am dealing with is bradykinesia. I wrote an article about the word Bradykinesia on my blog, for those who aren’t familiar with it. You can find it at .
If your diagnosis is the same, you become slower, but you do not tremble.
The urge to act suddenly overwhelmed my curiosity. I was looking for a task that allowed me to use my hands. When my daughter lived with me, we went to a beads shop together so she could make jewelry.
However, the passion of making necklaces and bracelets hit me, not my daughter. And I was using my hands!
The jewelry was nice, and making it helped improve the flexibility of my hands. I even sold some, especially the ones made with FIMO, a polymer that hardens when baked. I recommend people with Parkinson’s to try this exercise. Working with this clay is not only helpful, but also enjoyable and pleasurable.
They say that Parkinson’s disease is in your body 10 or 15 years before its diagnosis. The medication I have helped me a lot, and I feel much better than 12 years ago.
Occasionally, we all experience fatigue and illness despite resting well. You experience low motivation and fatigue, frequent headaches, and you’re feeling run-down. I recognize these symptoms. I also had them years ago, and they are quite unpleasant.
What was going on with me? With a good diet and proper sleep, there was no reason for these symptoms despite taking over-the-counter vitamins. Vitamins seemed identical until my friend introduced me to Usana.
After a week of taking Usana vitamins and minerals, I felt better and better. At the end of the month, my headaches vanished.
Usana products have always had an extraordinary effect on me. That’s why I’m talking about it. Doctors might not agree with me when I say that high-quality vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements can prevent diseases or help them.
In my heart, I strongly believe that for my mild form of Parkinson’s, I should thank Usana products.
I recently discovered the Usana Affiliates Program and felt thrilled to include it on my blog. And, yes:
“I earn commission for purchases made through links in this post.”
