No, I am not wearing only a bra and yes, that is my dirty laundry

March 19, 2013 By: PerkyParkiecomment

I felt that making a response to my diagnosis video of Parkinson’s disease was in order.  Many of you were impacted by the video showing how bad my symptoms had gotten without medication.  I had gotten many questions from people who were curious how I was doing today, 3 years after my young onset diagnosis.  Not to mention, many of you commented on the video looking like I was only wearing a bra.  Now all your questions are answered!….and yes, I do know that my camera angle sucks, but I am human.

The truth is, I felt it was important to show how Parkinson’s has impacted me, and that I am not an unattainable version of the disease; I struggle too.   But another thing that is important that I left out, was what happens when I take medication, and how much that tiny little yellow pill, improves my life.  Just so you can see the difference, below is the second part of the original diagnosis video, after taking my medications.

*If you live under a rock and missed the first part of the video (without medication), here is your chance to view it!

Enjoy!
