This is an update on my fight against Parkinson's Disease (PD), covering "Round Three" which I presented at the Quantified Self Conference and Expo in San Francisco in June, 2015, The original presentation was prepared for a QS meetup held in January, 2014 to discuss my efforts to monitor and assess my progress fighting PD with tech, data, peer networks, nutrition, sleep, and positive visualization... This is an extended version of my ignite talk that focused on efforts to improve my sleep and a discovery about my gut that suggests I've not been absorbing my long-chain fatty acids properly, which could why my nervous system was vulnerable to an onset of PD, This version was prepared for a special How-To session, to help others learn how to track their PD to improve symptoms and learn how to fight back! Something we all learn to do with gloves on at Rock Steady Boxing, a national program for fighting PD that works wonders for us, and I have the data to prove it! I first learned about the program at a World Parkinson Congress event in Montreal in 2013, a few months after my diagnosis. I had such a cathartic and wonderful experience there, that I have since become an official ambassador to the program. Details included about our next Congress in September, 2016 in Portland, Oregon.

- That “mover and shaker” movement disorder image is what most think of when they think of PD, but that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Symptoms and side effects include insomnia, loss of smell, bladder dysfunction, memory loss, muscle stiffness, poker faces, and digestive system issues.

- Speaking of old-fashioned, remember the story of Cholera? Until the mid-1800’s, the cause of this mysterious disease was unknown. Most believed it was an airborne disease, but this man, John Snow suspected otherwise. http://www.theguardian.com/science/sifting-the-evidence/2013/mar/15/john-snow-epidemiology-today-cholera http://docs.qgis.org/2.2/en/docs/training_manual/processing/john_snow.html http://donboyes.com/2011/10/14/john-snow-and-serendipity/
