- Tim courageously show us what goes on within the mind of a nurse who is diagnosed with Parkinson’s in mid-life.
Tim Hague Sr. is a registered nurse by day (pay check) and a professional speaker and writer the rest of the time (passion). He overcame the odds when he went from a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease to - just three years later - becoming the inaugural winner of CTV’s The Amazing Race Canada. He believes that, like many others who suffer with a myriad of other ailments, we can live to our fullest when we choose to persevere.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I’ve just recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I’m 49 it took 6 years to come to this conclusion from MRIs to just thinkings I’ve lost my marbles.
I’m a adrenaline addict. I skateboard snowboard and surf. While I’m not good at any of them anymore (not because of Parkinson’s more that I’m not 16 anymore) these are the things that I fight to keep in my life as far as active and mobility.
Balance is way off but remembering how the sensation of catching a wave goes I’ve managed to overcome the falling every time aspect of surfing.
They don’t make enough pads for skateboarding lol but getting together with old friends and pushing that wooden toy gives the feet the best vibrations.
Returned to snowboarding at the right time. They have bindings that you don’t have to touch to get into. Makes fighting with straps and lack of coordination a thing of the past.
It’s my goal to do these things as long as I can in life. Parkinson’s is going to have to make room
I made every excuse for not going out. I was suffering from a movement disorder but yet I was still alive. One day, I looked out the window and saw a young woman in a wheelchair transporting her groceries. Does she consider herself disabled?
What about my friends who spend most of their time watching TV. Disability is the inability to do simply task. I realized my disability was my thinking. Now I live a productive life. I’m slow and struggle with every day chores but I don’t consider myself disabled anymore.
Just amazing, courageous and emotional. Living is on the other side of fear, and we all need help getting there.
diagnosed at 52 with early onset Parkinson's, I refuse to let it get to me. I am greatly inspired by others who achieve in spite of..
Meena Devi that's great! The more strength you find in your ability to deal with something, the more the difficulties get buried
Its great Maam to sèe ur positivity , i am myself 53 n just detected with early onset of PD Can u pls give some words of wisdom to tackle early onset of PD
WOW! You are truly an inspiration. I was diagnosed at 42 and ended up having to take medical retirement at age 49. I'm now 52 and doing better than when I was 49, but still have lots of issues, especially with fatigue, anxiety, and depression. It's frustrating to lose the ability to do small things. Simple tasks now have become difficult. I'm single and worry what will happen to me in the future and if I will reach the point that I'm no longer able to take care of myself. It was all on my right side initially, but has now started on the left side. Physical therapy has helped quite a bit and even got me to give up walking with a cane. I did purchase a treadmill and force myself to walk on it every day. Some days are easy and others are hard, but the treadmill is a big help. I really appreciate the inspriation.
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "what are the end stages of parkinson's" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Siyortalie Astounded Smasher - (search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to control parkinsons disease minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.
Have you read Fighting Parkinson’s and Winning by Howard Shifke?
Inspired. I too have Parkinson’s diagnose two years ago🙏🏿🙏🏿
Tim has so much swag.
Well done Tim! Thank you! I've seen you on some Davis Phinney webinars also. I hear you and I'm with you. God Bless!
Similar to TBi and dystonia told I would never walk.. people thought I was drunk when fell over and slurred my words. After many years hard work, grit invited to do Mt Marathon in alaska. Great day
Warriors persevere for the moments of truly living. Even in the face of challenges
Not being an English native speaker, I am impressed by people like him and his ability to just talk and get across so many facts and impressions. I wish I could do that in my native language (German) the way he does it in English. Congrats.
I got onset of parkinsons at 47 years old I also greatly inspired by others too take care
I was diagnosed two years ago & it's rapidly progressed; I'm almost 60 but feel like 90
I feel so sorry to hear that, Becky. I really understand how you're feeling since my mom was also diagnosed of pd a year ago. I hope that you will just be okay always. God bless you!
becky Sawyer Get an appt. With Dr.Vansickle
Time passes so slowly. TY
You look really good.... oh God have I heard that. Even after 27 days in a hospital. Thank you for sharing what it's like. I was diagnosed at 50 but had it for at least 5 years. Took a DatScan to confirm. You are so courageous.
I was diagnosed with parkinsons 4 weeks ago and also had a datscan to confirm. I'm struggling still to accept it
Diagnosed after just turning 54. This is what I need to hear right now.
Same ... diagnosed a couple weeks ago at 54. Afraid to start the meds because of the side effects.
@@rueffjam144 I'm sorry that you have PD but I think if you are going to have it- now is a good time versus 20 yrs ago. There is a lot of great research going on. MJF has a lot to do with PD funding and making it more known. I'm on 1mg of Rasagiline. This is supposedly neuro protective. I had a few side effects the first- but not too bad. Talk to your neurologist. Don't be afraid to take medication. It can help. Hope this helps.
Did they think you had anything else? How is your voice?
Great chap!! xxx
Worthy of a LOVE SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it's a constant battle. I was diagnosed with PD 4-5 years ago and today at 50yo I was confirmed with stage 3 parkinson. 3 days ago I had DBS surgery, starting to feel better. Now I hope it works like it should, so that I can tell this Parkinson disease, you wait ✋ I'll get my life back.
Please tell us your opinion on dbs is it effective ??
@@Amira12895 yes but you must be a good candidate for its requirements.
Even though it takes time for the settings to get a good balance. And maybe walking and speech becomes difficult. Still better than before surgery. But everyone is different.
Oh wow:) so awesome!!
This is very inspiring. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, nearly 2 years ago, also at the age of 46.
David Ashworth diagnosed at 41
Some of you will benefit from researching neuromuscular dentistry. There is 35 years (40 now, I guess) of Japanese research connecting misaligned bites and some Parkinson's symptoms. Unfortunately they were animal experiments where they ground down the teeth on one side only and induced all kinds of neurological & other symptoms. Dr. Dwight Jennings in California is somewhat of an expert. His brief yt video connecting jaw & Parkinson's is titled "Parkinson's TMJ Treatment Rational". Wishing you well.
I have similar symptoms but my doctors say that i have ptsd and nerve pain the pain that lady gaga had. Yes i have people say if i am drunk by the way i talk and walk i also have depression, tired, difficulting thinking, slow at doing my daily activities, my bowel and bladder movements are not normal, i always feel hot . i try to find work but they see my condition and they say they will call me later but in reality employers dont want to hire people with physical conditions. No one wants to hire me i dont know if i can get social security disability because i am 36 yrs old. I do self exercises but nothing is working but i hsve a appointment with a neurologist on august 30 i hope they can diagnose my problem. The way i feel now is sad and lonely because no one understands the difficulty that i go thru everyday being unemployed and having a undiagnose condition.
jelly bro1223 understandable but never give up good luck good wishes
You’ll get through it. You’re really strong already dealing with all of that. Patience, you’ll end up finding your community and the support you need. Until then, lots of love and light to you 💕✨
This is the Moment
I'm 47, and have the early signs of Parkinson's. Like slight tremors in my hands, losing my balance easily. Often tired and fatigued most days. Often forgetting things. I just put it down to my Dyspraxia. I haven't been tested yet. Watching from London UK.
i have pd too, but i got surgery for pacemaker in 2014. life goes on buddy
Imelda Navarro how is it working for you any side effects ?
My tremors are quite similar to yours, its also in my left hand and tends to gets worst when i stand for long in church service. My legs also tremor when I am resting as well as my left hand, i feel like my speech is slurring which is really annoying! I have a neurologist appointment next month! Im 31 but it has been gradual i didn't even know there's was an illness to the shaking I though its normal until my hand started shaking uncontrollable sometimes then I though something's not right and so did my doctor and has referred me to a specialist.
Hope for the best
High dose thiamine hcl, improvement is likely missed if one is not observant. That is why we take video record and depend on outside observers. Generally over 4 months. First week, no more constipation. One year No more micrographia.
