Morten Harket has got Parkinson's

As a pretty obnoxious teenager (hard to imagine, I know) I didn't bother with 'Aha', thinking they weren't cool and edgy enough. Then on 'The Tube' they followed Aha on tour in an extended piece on the band. There was a scene filmed either on a plane or tour bus. It was just a guitarist and Morten relaxing and performing 'Hunting High and Low'. It was really lovely and obvious he had talent. Poor bugger. I hope he responds well to treatment.

You thought you'd come on a thread about a geezer just diagnosed with Parkinsons, to let everyone know you perv over Scandinavian birds old enough to be your granddaughters.

Good stuff.

Stop being such a woman.

God I miss Stockholm (i know it's Sweden not Norway but they look the same).

Great shame. It’s a horrible disease and  there’s no cure at this time, though there are some promising research programmes being conducted. 
I couldn’t say he was a friend, but we met several times, when I was living in the Oslo area and he came across a nice man.

it's a degenerative neuro disease, everyone who has Parkinson's is different, I got diagnosed back in 2012. It's a cսnt of a disease for sure, there is no cure, the drugs can cause you more problems with the side-effects. You get desperate and will try anything procedure wise, you tend to shut yourself away because of the depression, still, it is what it is, you do your best to be positive but it's hard.

 

It's horrible for the sufferer and it's horrible to watch as well. I'm really sorry that it's got hold of you as well. It's mad how it manifests differently from person to person. You think it's just the classic shaking, but oh no. Most people don't even get that? So many (upon learning about it) other things as well, hallucinations, night terrors, all sorts of different physical and mental things which profoundly affect people. Sometimes dementia linked to it (which my mum has) 
It feels like everyone knows it as a condition but it's so so difficult to understand, and because it's not overtly lethal like cancer or MND for example despite being chronic and degenerative, it's not really deemed 'really serious'. It's underestimated. It is nice however that there are a lot of groups and organisations out there that can help a bit or at least make a tiny positive difference at times.

I'm dreadfully sorry you're going through it. Wish there were something profound or enlightening I could say. I wish the best for you and your family. It's just so hard on everyone.

I really don't believe I go through much, I look at fellow Parky sufferers and think 'fuck that', some of their conditions are horrendous and so debilitating. Strange I almost feel blessed that everyone's condition is different, thankfully I'm a lot better than most.

I do some work for someone who has it quite bad and it's sad to see how debilitating it is.

Very true- there's just such crazy variance in how it affects people. Glad that you're not suffering more acutely. Take care.

He's had DBS-Surgery (Deep Brain Simulation), horrible procedure that is meant to help alleviate tremors. It's a brain-op where they insert wires into your brain (you're awake during this part of the op') and then connect them to an electro-magnet under your collar-bone, you get a clicker which turns the tremors off/on

I think I've seen something similar with a tourette's patient.

I found it freaky and fascinating at the same time.  You could see the person's mood/personality change the deeper they put the rods into their brain.

Years ago I printed labels for the Merck Sharp & Dohme Parkinson's drug, Levodopa.

I'm forced to take that because of my heart, your heart is a muscle and if you have tremors, they make your heart work harder, that's the only Parky's medication I'll take, cannabis works better for me, it relaxes me and slows the tremors more than the drugs..

There's a video online of someone with parkinson's trying a joint and his shakes stop almost immediately, have you seen or tried it? always wondered if it was fake

the video on YouTube is by a guy named Ian Frizzell, cannabis helps a lot (Parkinson's-UK are doing research into cannabis). He's had DBS-Surgery (Deep Brain Simulation), horrible procedure that is meant to help alleviate tremors. It's a brain-op where they insert wires into your brain (you're awake during this part of the op') and then connect them to an electro-magnet under your collar-bone, you get a clicker which turns the tremors off/on (you become a human rabbit, no duracells required)... having tremor-based Parkinson's I was offered this procedure back in 2012, I declined it, the risk are immense not only with the op' but also the aftercare.

I did have a brain-op in January, had to wait 8-years for the procedure because it was going through world-wide trials and, had to go through NICE approval. It's a form of DBS though is non-evasive that said, you definitely wouldn't choose to have this procedure done unless you were desperate, it's called 'DBS Focussed-Ultrasound', think of someone poking around in your brain with a finger, the pain is indescribable, it's a pain you'll never experience. Unfortunately the op' wasn't a success for me, I'm regressing, apparently I'm 'too thick' (my skull), they couldn't hit the temperatures to kill the errant-cells, hence I'm regressing.

Parkinson's can bring on dementia, they're both neuro-conditions, it's a fear of mine.

I know a lot of you guys are sympathetic (you cunts), what I don't need is pity just a bit of understanding... Parkinson's is a cսnt full-stop, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If you want to know the cause in basic terms, it's 'lack of dopamine', there's a little bump on the back of your head, underneath is where dopamine is produced, look after your bump.

Take care all

Can this be moved to off-topic pls.

Ahhhh the topic police.  Guess you have some use Ferret! SWTOC

Reminded of this

I posted on the music thread. I've been losing you is a banger. And living daylights. 
Noone does double denim like Morton.
Very sad, I think he was performing until quite recently and was still a decent singer.

This is a good one. Nothing to do with Parkinson's, Morton or west ham
