Parkinson’s Diagnosis at 27
You did not read the title wrong. I just wanted to assure you of this. In my twenties I became symptomatic of what would be diagnosed as Parkinson’s Disease. They say you should start off writing strong, lure them into your story. If the aforementioned didn’t grab your attention, perhaps a more mathematical approach will. Because the only thing more compelling than words are numbers, no?

How to Fight Dehydration
Last summer, I had a seizure. In my home, during the middle of the day, I stood up from my couch to wash dishes and dropped as I walked to my kitchen. My boys were present, and it scared all of us! Since the seizure had never occurred before, off I went to see a heart specialist. After a couple of newer tests, the diagnosis of Chronic Low-Blood Pressure, was a relief. But what exactly is it? This means that when I stand up, gravity causes more than the normal 15% of blood that a healthy person has drop, to pool below my heart. This extreme drop triggers my brain, which tells the heart to pump furiously in order to get my blood pressure regulated. The slight increase of my heart rate causes me to faint, or have a seizure, depending on how high my heart has to beat per minute. I have been struggling since I was at least 10 years old with bouts of dizziness, and fainting. I had always been a very active child, and in school the sudden fainting when I stood up from my desk didn’t seem important. They were isolated incidents and only struck every couple years or so, when I least expected it. When I was a teenager, they happened during my lunch hours from work, after I ate, but always when I stood up from a sitting position.

The Truth About Stress
Watch the video before proceeding. The Weight of the World starts on the shoulders of just one girl. Any time you write something, you should be willing to put your face and name to it. When we speak truth these things need to be offered freely. Stress prevents us from doing it, which could circumvent the very existence of reality itself.

Help Yourself and Others with a New Hobby
It’s a fact that modern life is busier now than it ever has been before, with most people struggling to maintain a daily balance between work, family and a social life. It can often feel like there isn’t enough time left over to dedicate to a personal interest, whether that be pursuing something creative or a favorite sport. Recently, I noticed this in my life and decided that I needed to do something about it. Surprisingly, I found that rather than leaving me with even less time, keeping up a regular hobby helped me to realize the full potential of my day and ultimately, made me feel more relaxed and on top of things. It even gave me a new opportunity to help others, too!
