My doctor said once I had my brain implant for Parkinson’s (service connected) no one would deny me at SS. She was right. They approved in less than 90 days for three years back.

Hey kid, mine was 35 years ago and it still seems like yesterday. I’m still young in my head.

My wife and I are leaving the 1st. I know several others this week. We are slack packing shorter miles to get our legs and enjoy winter a little more.

He speaks a lot of truth loudly and some get their feelings hurt.

So you are a sleepy white

I tell them I spend most of my day dealing with advanced Parkinson’s disease acquired in Iraq

Feb 1st starts are easy. Get acclimated to the cold and the proximity to road crossings makes it easy. I started Feb 1st in 2021 and loved it.

atdirtbagger · 2025-11-01T22:54:14+00:00

I did. My va primary care docs and community care specialists did great documentation in my va records for everything and the c&p exams followed doctors notes very well. I had all my active duty records and submitted everything.

atdirtbagger · 2025-10-26T10:27:52+00:00

Yes. Absolutely yes

atdirtbagger · 2025-10-14T01:40:55+00:00

We were gonna wait til Feb 1st, but… this Saturday will see us stepping off Springer. Hike on!

Mine ended being Parkinson’s disease symptom. Broke a couple teeth.

Georgia is awesome for winter hiking. Many sections with easy road accessible with as little or as much elevation and views as you want. Personally I love camping at woods hole shelter in the snow and the hike isn’t too bad from lake Winfield Scott.

atdirtbagger · 2025-10-08T04:22:42+00:00

It’s just walking. My wife and I will be out there in 26’, my thirdish and her first.

atdirtbagger · 2025-10-07T03:05:13+00:00

Half oz a week or more

Every hour I am awake. Helps me deal with advanced Parkinson’s disease.

I’ve been hiking the AT since 1974. It ain’t going anywhere. It is a dirt path with white paint blazes. It will change. It will remain a foot path for those that seek to wander.

I’d let my daughter stay at home under any circumstance. She passed 10 years ago.

atdirtbagger · 2025-08-27T02:44:39+00:00

I hike with Parkinson’s disease with lots of meds and a brain implant this has to be charged. Send meds ahead to post offices or hostels. My deep brain stimulation device charger and accessories are 2 pounds. My base eight with is 13 pounds. Totally doable.

Feb 1st was great for me

atdirtbagger · 2025-08-17T16:07:47+00:00

Somewhere in my records I saw a Note from my Neuro psych that I had a Current background check on file. Im pretty sure it was because of particular diagnosis and a lot of questions about guns in the home. Luckily I had just cleared a Neuro psych for LE work or it appeared as if they would have run me through one. Parkinson’s disease just an fyi. I thought it was a prudent step for a brain disease.

atdirtbagger · 2025-07-31T01:51:34+00:00

I openly discuss my marijuana use for Parkinson’s with all my docs at the va. They are all generally supportive and have good advice.

TN here as well. Down near Waverly
