One of my female manx mice, affectionately known as “spaz” one day out of the blue seemed as though she was having fits, then she calmed down but has never been the same since, it’s almost as if she has Parkinsons Disease. I don’t know whether it’s relevant or not, but about a month after she started “spazming” a hole appeared in her side, it was almost a perfectly round hole that went into her flesh, you could see her flesh at the bottom of the hole, it was about 0.5mm in diameter, but it just healed straight back up. She lost a bit of weight after that, but she still spazms. I have no idea what it is?

Also, one of my female rex mice was perfectly normal, then all of a sudden, she started endlessly running around their cage, she never stops aside from when she’s eating or drinking, but even then, she kind of twitchs, like she’s fidgiting! She’s been doing it for about a week now…. But they both function, eat,sleep, drink and play! It’s totally bizare! Help me please?
Seems like I wasn’t kidding myself when I thought that it was weird and rare!!!!

does god love even evily people. my grandfather was what i would consider to be pure evil. He grew up during the holocaust, him and his family lived in hiding in germany. His mother did everything she could to give him a good life. he loves to tell this particular story. his mother worked incredibly hard to get him a piano teacher, however he did not like piano, so he threw salt in his teacher’s eyes and pushed him down the stairs, breaking his neck, no one found out that HE did it, as the teacher who survived, said it was an accident.

as a teenager he even killed a neighbors cat, invited the neighbor over and served the cat to him. even telling him after the meal.(phsychopathic?)

my father was abused my grandfather as a kid, only physically tho. for me it was a lot worse as i was abused in worse ways(WHO LEFT US ALONE TOGETHER?!). i really can’t understand what my parents were thinking letting him “baby sit”. although the last time they did, i was 6 or 7 and he held me down and cut my hair off with scizors.
(this actually led to my dad freaking out years later when i cut my own bangs. something tells me he knew what happened before that)

nowadays my grandfather is 85 and suffering from parkinsons disease, his body is slowly dying. i’d thought about confronting my grandfather now and maybe punching him int he face, but i’m not that kind of person. really.

does god love everyone? even evil people?

Bee asked:


My grandad is 77 and used to be a comical genuinly funny bloke, but recently (within the last 3 years) he’s lost all that. He gets confused really easily and is really slow and clumsy. The doctors got him on medication for parkinsons disease and stats for cholesterol levels. But me and my family think that he’s on the wrong medication and hasnt got parkinsons. What do you think it could be?

My mum thinks he should come off the stats because they seem to be making him drowzy and we think he’s on too much medication….

Parkinson’s disease is caused due to a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain and affects the way you move.

Dopamine, the chemical created by nerve cells sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. These nerve cells break down when you have Parkinson’s. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you want to.

Over a period of many years, Parkinson’s disease tends to get worse. But there are good treatments that can help you live a full life.

Causes of Parkinson’s disease

It is not clear as to what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look for the answer. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson’s disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease:

The four main symptoms of Parkinson’s are:

* Tremor accompanied by shaking or trembling. It may affect your hands, legs, arms or head.

* Stiff muscles

* Slow movement

* Problems with walking or balance

Tremor is one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. More importantly, not everyone with a tremor has Parkinson’s disease. Tremor may be worse when you are awake and may get better when you are asleep.

Parkinson’s disease affects muscles all through your body. It can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation. A person with Parkinson’s may also develop a fixed or blank expression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people may also develop dementia. People usually start to have symptoms between the ages of 50 and 60, but in some people symptoms start earlier.

Diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease:

Your symptoms and your past health on the basis of a neurological exam will help you know about the existence of the disease. A neurological exam includes questions and tests that show how well your nerves are working. Your doctor will check the way you move, your muscle strength and reflexes, and your vision. In some cases, your doctor may have you try a medicine. There are no lab or blood tests to help check the existence of this condition. You can have an MRI to look for signs of a stroke or brain tumor.

How is it treated?

Though there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease as yet, there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.

The best drug for controlling the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is Levodopa. Since this drug has side effects the doctors delay the use of levodopa till the last stage of the disease to postpone the side effects.
