Me, Myself, and Parkinson’S

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 Parkinsons Disease. He started writing an internet blog to share his feelings on a regular basis. In Me, Myself, and Parkinsons, 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 fathers 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 Parkinsons medication, including sexual dysfunction that threatens his relationship. The blog entries included in Me, Myself, and Parkinsons offer a real-time, honest, and brave look at Parkinsons Disease through the eyes of a sufferer.
