Me, Myself, and Parkinson's George Tait Jr

For author George Tait Jr., it all began in the summer of 2011 when he began feeling cramping pains in his lower right arm. That was followed by trembling in his right thumb. At just fifty years old, George faced a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. He started writing an internet blog to share his feelings on a regular basis.

In Me, Myself, and Parkinson's, George presents a collection of those blog posts in which he shares his struggles mentally and physically coping with a progressive, degenerative disease. At the same time, he reveals his deepest and most intimately kept feelings about his family; his perceived failures from his beloved, deceased father's perspective; his frustrations with his first marriage and two resulting children; and his present endeavors trying to make his current marriage work despite the challenges and changes to his behavior and personality, side effects of the Parkinson's medication, including sexual dysfunction that threatens his relationship.

The blog entries included in Me, Myself, and Parkinson's offer a real-time, honest, and brave look at Parkinson's Disease through the eyes of a sufferer.
