PD Photog for Hire

Several months back, I applied for disability. It was a hard decision but I am not longer able to do the work I used to do. In my previous life (pre-PD), I was a photographer and videographer. The wonderful people at social security decided that I can still do this work "as normally performed in the national economy." Really? It is hard enough to admit that you can't do your job anymore, but to have to defend yourself and admit your frailties to a complete stranger is humiliating.

I have Parkinson's. I have tremors, rigidity, and balance issues. Stress makes all that worse. How do you think I should advertise my services?

Available for hire: The PD Photo Gal!
Got a wedding or other special event coming up next year? The PD Photo Gal has got you covered. If the shots of the first look, first kiss and father/daughter dance come out blurry due to shaking hands, she will be happy to retake them at another time.
Have a new addition in the family? The PD Photo Gal is happy to capture those special newborn moments. She can even lull your little one to sleep with her shaking arms. Do not be alarmed if she tips over when squatting down to get that perfect shot. Special discount offered if you help her back to her feet. Extra special discount offered is you rescue the camera before it hits the floor.
Did your team make the finals and you want a highlight video? The PD Photo Gal is the one for you! For best results, please be sure to schedule all games according to her meds schedule.

I am appealing the decision made by social security. While I wait for word, you can find me down at the local social security office looking for my dignity and putting my business cards on their bulletin board. They think I am well qualified. I'm sure I can find someone to hire me there.

Self Advocacy in a World of Red Tape

In a perfect world, a person with an illness or a disability would easily be able to get needed services and treatments. We do not live in a perfect world and often the healthcare system is littered with red tape. Patients or their care partners are tasked with jumping through hoops, waiting countless hours on hold with pharmacies or insurance companies, and waiting months to see specialists. I wish I had the solution to this problem but unfortunately, I only see it getting worse. You need to be an advocate for yourself. Here’s what has helped me: · Be persistent, be firm and be polite. · Call often. A squeaky wheel gets attention. · Stay on hold. It is frustrating but sometimes it is the only way. · If someone doesn’t have the answer you need, ask to speak with someone who does. · ...

Medication Pumps for the Trend Setters

I jest. You have to keep a sense of humor when you are living with a condition like Parkinson's. I am actually very thankful for new treatments even if they aren't pink and pretty.

Getting Pumped!

I finally got my Vyalev pump. Like anything else with Parkinson's, the road has been bumpy. I started in the clinical trial about four years ago. That only lasted a month or so because of the skin bruising, swelling and medication pooling. At the end of last year, the FDA approved the pump and recently Medicare started covering it. I was anxious to try again. So now I am on day 6 and here's the good, the bad and the ugly: I am having much less off time. I am still in the phase of getting my rate adjusted and anticipate that this will improve even more. On occasion, I still use my Inbrija to get me over a rough patch but I'm not using it much and I anticipate I will need to continue to have it on hand in the future because life with PD, well, life in general, is unpredictable. I have had some trouble with the medication pooling and my skin bruising and looking bumpy and swollen. Thankfully, there is an online community of wonderful people sharing tips and tricks for dealin...
