Could you change your avatar? You know I have a sense of humor but:

Parkinson's is a devastating disease. It robs people of their life. Imagine if you couldn't control your muscles or couldn't balance yourself. Imagine your body was slowly becoming rigid and there was nothing you could do about it.

You mind stays intact. You become a prisoner in your own body. No more taking walks with the family. No teaching your kids how to ride a bike. No more working, running or biking. No driving.

There are 1.5 million people with Parkinson's in the U.S. It is incurable.

Surely you can find a different avatar. That one is in very poor taste.

Totally agree, not very nice!:slap:

Just pray to God you don't get it as retribution.....:sadangel:

I might be a bit biased since I have an incurable, debilitating disease. There are so many things I wish I could still do. To see a healthy person mocking these issues is beyond bad taste.

My life as I've known it is forever changed. It is a profound situation.

Joe, I know you don't mean anything by it and no judgement is made. Just a request.

With Joe's luck he will get Parkinson's and wind up in a convalescent home full of horny old men all wanting hand jobs.

And he will still strike out, and post here lamenting his bad luck. :D

I figure god has already given me my retribution. Have had ulcerative colitis since I was 13. Pretty shitty. Though having to shit frequently is not as bad as Parkinson's.

Try mixing the two during your morning commute. :sadangel:

I swear on my tattered coin pouch, my guts and ass vehemently hated each other. There is no better way for them to ruin my morning at least two days a week. Sneaky bastards

Sometimes I get so much inflammation in my gut nothing goes through. Food has to go somewhere. So it comes back up.

One night I puked so much I tore my esophagus. That was fun. Not only was I exhausted from not sleeping and puking blood, had to spend the night at the ER.

I'm much better for the last six months or so, but for a while, it was getting ridiculous.

must be something wrong with your diet man. What are ya eating, nails?
Start eating cooked whole rolled oats in the morning and garlic pills. Garlic is a natural antibiotic, and the oats cleanse the digestive tract. and no booze, sorry, it's an irritant! :cry:

This.

We're all gonna die. No way is funny. Nothing wrong with poking humor at our own mortality.

Not saying you have to like it, but none of us are going to make it out alive.

:cheers:

Dying of natural causes after a long life is different from having a chronic debilitating incurable disease. Perhaps if you had a condition that will kill you before your time, (as Thrakk does) you might understand my position.

It has nothing to do with liking it or not. It has to do with joking about people's tragedy and pain. Surely we can find other things to joke about.

Joe is a super nice guy. Like I told him in a PM - I'm not offended. But seeing it saddens me. He showed his mettle.
