Why do I have to take medicine??/
I was diagnosed with the disease in October 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the time, I was disheartened and my future looked bleak. After that, the doctor told me,
"This disease cannot be cured with current medical science, but the treatment will be medication."
I just felt uncomfortable, thinking, "Am I going to start taking medicine when there's no chance of recovery?"
I went to see the doctor three times after that, but I still couldn't decide to start taking the medicine.
Why can a medecine that can't cure something be taken for granted as the standard treatment?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago. I underwent three surgeries and finally had a total mastectomy.
I did not undergo any of the general radical treatments, radiation therapy or medications that followed.
The reason for this was that I had had three surgeries, had the tumor removed, and had no signs of metastasis,
so I thought that was enough.
That's why I decided to find a solution to this serious illness that I could accept.
I searched the web and found that there are people who are looking for treatments for Parkinson's disease other than medication?
Finally, I found John Pepper and contacted him.
He told me about how to fast walk and also shared some of the literature he had looked at.
I will start fastwalking in November 2022, and two years will have passed in December 2024.
The hip pain I had when walking is no longer there.
I no longer have delusions or hallucinations.
As for how my symptoms are progressing, I have never taken medication for Parkinson's disease
so I can't compare it to that, but I am living the same life as I was before my diagnosis.
However, I feel that the muscles in my left hand and left leg have weakened and my movements have become slower than when I was healthy,
so I need to be conscious of moving my arms and legs. Also, although I can still drive a manual car, I have stopped riding a bicycle.
