When I was first diagnosed I signed up for a study which tracks the development of Parkinson’s to help with future studies of the disease. Covid interfered with the follow up visits. Today was an MRI scan along with lots of cognitive and movement tests. My brain (what’s left of it) hurts. Lots of lists of numbers (with me repeating, re-ordering and reversing), words, images, colours and blood tests too.
They videoed my movement which included foot tapping (like a bass drum) which illustrated that the disease is progressing as my left foot could barely move after a few seconds. So bang goes any chance of me as a drummer…
(Yep, Parkinson’s sucks)
Next week I’m back again for the next drug trial update, so more tests. Hopefully it will help for the future.
