    You are looking good and sounding great, Jeremy!! I think that your advice to "use it or lose it" is especially important for those of us with Parkinson's. We take so many everyday skills and movements for granted but Parkinson's will steal them away from us if don't keep practicing and persevering. Thanks for the reminder 😊

      Good advice, Jeannine! It’s always nice to hear from you 😊

    I just started working with a Speech Therapist, and she asked me about what goals I would like to persue, and I told her that I really miss being able to sing. Singing was such a major part of my life for years, and long before my diagnosis (just in 2021/22) …I seemed to loose that ability. I w/ see her this next week to see what she may be able to teach me…I am excited…
    Glad to hear about your journey and to learn you were able to start singing again. This gives me hope that I might again be able to enjoy singing.
    Take care.

    Love the Oasis song at the end!! Like the importance of stretching before and after exercise, we forget our vocal chords need some stretching/warming up too 🥰 Thanks for another great video!!

    My voice is important to me as well, but right now I'm not sure if I'm not having a different symptom. I've noticed that I'm occasionally struggling with the pronunciation of a word which I would not have stumbled over before. I've always had a little stammer, but it's really quite slight. This isn't the same. I'm just not sure it's not my imagination. Anyway, nice singing voice ya got there. The last song I sang was Lowell George's Willin. That was this morning around 4:30. My parrot is still mad at me.

      Thx, Betty! I, too, stumble over my words more often than I used to. Parkinson’s always has a new twist for us, doesn’t it? And thx for the compliment!

      It's funny how we had hot wheels when we were kids. And now I go hot wheel hunting with my sons who are 20 and 22. It's a strange thing that has brought us back together.😃

    I appreciate your videos, have you looked into DBS? I just started the process of qualifying. Not sure if I want to have it done. 👍

    • @JeremyMcdonald
      @JeremyMcdonald  Před rokem

      I have to be honest. DBS scares the hell out of me. My MDS has recommended that I look into it, but I have not done so.

      I just had DBS done in November/December. It is life changing. I still have Parkinson’s, but I have a wonderful new normal that gives me hope for the future. You have to really want to to do this, because the process is intense as are the 3 surgeries. It took almost a year. But I would do it again in a minute.

      It took me months to get there. I finally became so disgusted/frustrated with my physical condition I said ‘enough’ and made the call. Terrified the whole time, but just kept moving forward. I now have a rather bumpy bald head, but I wasn’t a stud like Jeremy Mcdonald anyway! 😂

    Why do you have blue lenses does it help with dyskinesia

      Just a style choice. Plus, Ozzy Osbourne wears similar glasses.😎
