It's Frustrating!
I was at a friend's house yesterday, a very talented Animal Communicator/Psychic and this is a person I see on a regular basis each week. We are very good friends and share books, life stories, give each other advice, etc. Yet, yesterday at her house, I struggled horribly with being fluent. I also work with this lady and rarely do I stutter in my professional setting. Suddenly, however, for some mysterious reason, I couldn't say five words in a row without a major block...and my usual tricks to avoid stuttering all seemed to fail.
Maybe it was the unfamiliar setting? I have never been to visit her and her husband at their house before, so maybe that put me on edge a little. Who knows? She knows that I am a stutterer and reacts wonderfully to it, never trying to complete my sentences or even mentioning the stutter at all. Still, I felt like a huge idiot.
No matter how many times you tell yourself that stuttering doesn't determine your intelligence and shouldn't affect your value or how you feel about yourself, when days or incidents arise like this, I am virtually unable to convince myself that I don't appear to be a stuttering, stammering, dysfluent imbecile.
I hate days like that.

You actually are a stuttering, stammering, dysfluent imbecile.
Just kidding, Mr. Comedian :)
Those days come and go, don't they?
I recognize them all too clearly.
The best you can do is accept it and smile at it. It passes. It always does.

I’ve been living with Parkinson’s disease for some time, and nothing I tried seemed to make a lasting difference—until I began the herbal treatment from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I was skeptical at first, but after about four months, I started to notice real improvements. My tremors became less frequent, my stiffness reduced, and my balance and coordination gradually began to improve.
For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my body and daily life. I can move more freely, sleep better, and even enjoy simple activities again without constant discomfort. The changes have been truly uplifting—both physically and emotionally.
If you're exploring natural options for managing Parkinson’s, I genuinely recommend giving this a try. It’s been a life-changing experience for me.
