You might have Parkinson's if...



10.  ...by the time you take all your medicine before breakfast your not hungry anymore.

9.  ...you're on a first name basis with four doctors, a Chiropractor, and a massage therapist, and on the frequent customer list at the the local pharmacy.

8.  ...your wife hands you the juice bottle that says shake vigorously before opening and asks you to hold it for a few seconds.

7.  ...your mind says go left but your feet go right.

6.  ...you have your seven year old open your child proof medicine bottles for you.

5. ...you have moments in which you know exactly where you are going but have no idea where you are nor how you got there.

4.  ...when you pull up to the drive through window and the attendant holds a drink carrier with five drinks crammed in it out, sees you reaching for it with your not so steady hands, and says, "Uh, if you'll pull forward, I'll bring it to you!"

3. ...the waitress at the local cafe thinks your a doctor because of your sloppy signature.

2.  Your friend doesn't order at the restaurant.  He decides instead he will just eat what you sling his way.

and finally...

1. (drum roll...) ...you have learned to laugh at your little mishaps resulting from Parkinson's.  You realize it  is something you have.  It is not who you are.  You consider it a gift instead of a curse.  You will not allow Satan to beat you down with it, but will instead allow God to use it to build you up into who and what He wants you to be...
