According to Rush, a poem by YumaBev

In March 2012, Michael J. Fox appeared on CNN.  The remarks made by Rush Limbaugh calling Mr. Fox's excessive Parkinson's Disease movements "fake" was brought up AGAIN.  Mr. Fox said as a celebrity, those kinds of remarks were just part of the job and I agree with his reasoning.  However, as a non-celebrity Young Onset Parkinson's Disease patient, I felt as though Rush was calling me and every other Parkie out there fakes as well.  


I wrote my own response to Rush Limbaugh in the form of a Poem and then I recorded myself reading it. Take a look, it is less than 2 minutes long.  

It's bad enough that sometimes our Doctor's think we are faking symptoms, when all we want is answers. Some Parkies have been told by their employers and their own families they are faking.  We are not faking anything.  Trust me, if I could stop the movements, I would, but I can't and people calling us fakers is just not right.

If you agree with what I had to say, please pass it along. Thank you very much.
