Don Jacobson, my uncle, passed away a few years ago, but lived a great life with Parkinson's disease until the very end. It was about staying positive, staying engaged, learning, and helping other people. Keep happy. Keep positive thoughts in your mind. Don't let the disease get you down, because it's an endless spiral! You can be an inspiration to those you love. Never give up! You have our love and prayers. Be strong!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry for your loss. He is inspiring me to stay positive for sure. I was just diagnosed with PD I'm also 57. So his outlook really made me less scared. Thank you again 💕
Don, I wish you and your wife nothing but the best. Everyone with Parkinson's should watch this because you're so inspiring! I also think your annunciation is great! You're one of the most courageous and positive people I've ever seen on here. 83? No, you don't look a day over 60! :) Bless you, and your family!
Thank you for sharing, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease this past March. I really understand the affects and symptoms you speak of here. I admire you. Again thank you. How great to see you running like that! I will keep positive and happiness with me.
I admire you. What a wonderful outlook you have on life. I have a nephew who has had Parkinson’s for several years and he’s in his middle forties. I want to refer this video to him.
so touching!!!! Hooray!!!!! so inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you... and I think your annunciation is FABULOUS!!!!!1 Thank you for sharing & kudos to your loving wife. wish you alll the best! sdorian Dallas texas
Oh boy, We'll it sucks. You can't change necessary change, but meds are getting better and better. The big thing is that you CAN live with it...and everyday is a blessing, no matter what. I remember many days with my uncle Don where we actually sat and laughed at his insane predicament. One time, we tried to create a mouse with piles of Kleenex on it as a kind of shock absorber for his shaking. It actually worked! But the harder and harder he worked to stay busy, focused and engaged, the less Parkinson's defined him. In time, no one even knew he was living with it. There were things his wife would notice like the stoop, shuffle, stare, holding his left hand near his left pocket, loss of balance, etc. that she had to call out. Don just listened and took them as "help", not. criticism. In time, he gained control over these things, and as the symptoms left, he just began to live life normally again. And as you can see from the video, he overcame nearly all of the things about Parkinson's that could have defined him. Stay positive. Stay engaged. Have projects which require you to be working with other people. A supportive spouse really helps.
May Jehovah God bless you Don you got such a wonderful positive attitude you are an inspiration to others and I’m sure a great help keep on going you’re strong God bless you you’re a wonderful example for others to help others🥰💕
I believe it was the things he was listing…like, staying engaged, working on the computer (Bingo), being social, and running and all those types of activities. He really was quite improved from the level of debilitation he says he was at before. Pretty amazing.
I have found i on this video to be very inspiring. I have Barnes and I have had it now for about six years but it’s getting really bad and I know I’m holding onto hope. I’m hoping to get a DBS in the near future because I want more life to live. I do it it’s just that DDS is very expensive and I’m hoping to get the funds to do this. Perhaps you could help me develop my video - I am struggling to get it as professional as your dads thanks Deborah

Such a sweet man. He is so positive and inspirational!
Very inspiring. But what was the trigger that caused the remarkable improvement? Mentality,mindset?
Thank you, I found that inspirational. God bless you.
You're so right!
He explains on the video what happiness means: mental happiness, keeping the mind busy on positive things.
Very inspirational and informative. I have early onset Parkinson’s and I am trying so hard not to let it define me.
