What a beautiful tribute. Parkinsons is a hideous disease. This lady is an example to me. Thanks for sharing!!

Your Everyday Hero: Judith C.

My hero is my wife. At 67, she has endured 17 years of constant struggle with Parkinson's disease. In all these years I never heard her complain. Using everything medicine has to offer, plus some homeopathic measures, she has managed to overcome many of the worst Parkinson's perils. With her quiet nature and good mannerism, she drove Parkinson's out of our life. Yes, she has problems,if Parkinson's isn't bad enough to endure she also has severe Scoliosis, which causes very bad back pain. No one could see or tell the pain she has to endure, as she lives like a wonderful mother, and grandmother to nine grandchildren.
A real hero for sure.
