Last year, a few months before my 27th birthday I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I accepted it pretty good because I think that nothing can’t stop you from doing what you want except for yourself. Mostly no one wanted to accept it because of my age. People are shocked every time I have to say what I have. My tremors have been getting worst especially in my hands and everyone was telling me about my shaking so I started to worry. That was when I said “I need to check what was wrong”. The doctor made the clinical tests and everything pointed out to be Parkinson’s, but because of my age they did every test possible and finally I was diagnosed. While people cant believe it, Im pretty Ok with it. Because for me it was scarier not to know why I was shaking all the time or why sometimes I couldn’t even hold a paper! I don’t think about how my condition may worsen in the future, I just think about how I’m improving myself in the present. I shared my story on a Facebook Status because I was tired of people saying “why are you shaking?” And I said you know what? The world needs to know that this condition doesn’t have any age. And that in fact we have to create awareness and get people involved in knowing and engaging themselves with it. Some days are harder than others but is a day by day thing! And hey just be you, be happy, be free!!! We are a God’s instrument we just need to learn where our voices belong!
