last year i started taking up photography and i have really grown to love it, this afternoon i have been told that it is highly likely that i have and will be diagnosed onset Parkinson's disease. I have always been mildly shaky, but now that i know it will only get much worse idk what to do with my life... I don't want to be pessimistic, but ya know it really blow huge cock that I, out of 6 billion people ended up being one of the few million that have this. I'm a glass half empty kind of guy so i am obviously going to make the best of it and continue with college and photography, but the day that I am unable to continue doing what i love to do on a daily basis, idk what im gonna do.

I expect some of you guys to troll but w/e just wanted to share.

Just do what you love, no matter what.

aw sry to hear that :/ .. I dont think u have to quit photography tho.. even if it gets worse..

Because parkinson's disease is progressive, you should document, through photography, the changes you notice in your brain and body overtime for the benefit of humanity. Your dedication and heroism will be rememebered long after you forget. If you're to be blogging this, please take the time to PM me personally where you'd be doing this, as I will be one of your first advocates. I wish you the best, friend, and while perhaps someday it may be difficult for you to remember our little d2jsp community, we will not forget you.

Wow that is actually an incrdible idea. Quite the magnanimous and inspirational type you are, eh? I agree, make lemonade from lemons! If you do end up diagnosed with this as unfortunate as that would be, use it to bring about change through out the entire course of history by bettering the species with knowledge and understanding! I too would be honored to back you in this quest, if so please pm me as well.

im actually workin on my blog site right now =], and unlike most the idiots out there i write my own code!

also i dont think parkinsons messes with my memory just my motor functions, mood, and behavior

For someone who has a disease you certainly don't know much about it.

well i just found out its highly likely that i have it... always just thought it was from a thyroid problem that runs in the family...
