Anne said she first noticed something was wrong with her when she started to get cramps in her hands and she started to have difficulty walking without feeling stiff.<\/p>\n
“I was sent for a brain scan and, as a result of that, they diagnosed Parkinson’s disease,” she said.<\/p>\n
She said exercising and meeting others in the same position had helped her.<\/p>\n
“I find exercising with other people helps as you don’t feel quite as isolated, you meet people with the same condition,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t have done what I do now, or met the people I met now, if it wasn’t for the diagnosis.”<\/p>\n
She said her son was “so enthusiastic” about everything he does.<\/p>\n
“He certainly gets a lot of good remarks from people with Parkinson’s who feel they are dong something for themselves,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anne said she first noticed something was wrong with her when she started to get cramps in her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[589,163,85,46],"class_list":["post-470316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-fitness","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
