“HELP”
I need somebody
(Help!) not just anybody
(Help!) you know I need someone”
10 million people living with Parkinson’s need someone to help discover how to stop the progression of PD and how to cure the disease.
“I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down”
PWP experience a wide range of mental and physical symptoms. Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health symptoms. Self worth, loss of memory, and dementia are also problems.
“I never needed anybody's help in any way
”But Every now and then I feel so insecure
My independence seems to vanish in the haze”
The physically punishing symptoms of PD plus the possible psychological damage caused by mental symptoms can affect a PWP ability to perform the activities of daily life and cause serious depression leading to more dependence.
“I know that I just need you like I've never done before”
You know I need someone”
People with Parkinson’s need a dedicated team PD doctors, research Doctors, movement specialists, caregivers, teachers, family and friends, fellow PD people, movement experts, and caretakers to improve the quality of their life and to help make it through each day.
“Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?”
I’m feeling down because I have Parkinson’s and it is impacting my quality of life. I shake, at times uncontrollably, I have trouble walking and have to use walking aids - canes, rollers, and two different kinds of wheel chairs. Sometimes I fall due to balance problems. There is nothing that makes you feel more discouraged and uncomfortably foolish than falling down, your ass suddenly going out from under you and your legs, head, and hands sailing off in other directions until you are on the ground hoping that only your ego is hurt.
”I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?”
“And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze”
Getting back up without help is sometimes harder than falling down.
A can do positive belief helps.
“There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
It's easy
Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
It's easy”
The secret is to get help,
“i get by with a little help from my friends, I stay high with a little help from my friends. Love, love, love. I just need someone to love,”
People with Parkinson’s can lead a healthy, happy, and productive life with a little help from professionals and friends.
“All you need is love, love, love, love. Love is all you need."
