Humor — Find and revel in the absurd.
Empowerment — Refuse to surrender your life and relationships to PD.
Collaboration — Team with your family, friends, and healthcare providers.
Knowledge — Know the difference between myth and fact and keep up with the latest developments.
Integration — Treat the body, mind, and spirit.
Never give up!
