Parkinson's in your ear

No, this is not a post about your ears shaking involuntarily. I just wanted to quickly share a Parkinson's podcast that I have found to be more helpful and thought provoking that any therapy, support group, or even the majority of appointments woth my doctors/neurologist. You can find all of the episodes online here or just add this RSS feed into your pocatcher of choice.

I love that these talk about all of the things that even your neurologist wants to avoid discussing. Things like aging with Parkinson's, living alone with Parkinson's, mortality rates and Parkinson's, shame. depression and demoralization with Parkinson's, cannabis' effect on Parkinson's, etc. All of the really important things that need to be adressed more than just going to your appointments and discussing which medications can help my hand from shaking or my feet from clawing up.

Runs in the family?

I've been going through some old videos and audio tapes of my Dad recently. He died from Parkinson's complications about 6 years ago now. He was diagnosed when he was in his early 40's and died when he was in his mid 60's. My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's in his late 80's and died in his early 90's. My grandmom may have had it as well altough her official diagnosis was MSA. So when I was diagnosed at 28, it wasn't much of a shock. I've heard that Parkinson's isn't officially hereditary but I call bullshit on that.

About Me

Before PD I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD in 1982. I After PD I was 31 and most of my friends were having kids and I knew I wasn't on that track anymore. So I looked for something new to change things up. That turned out to be a new job in Roswell, GA.
