    I love your latest blog Not your grandfather’s disease. I never thought that when noise, is too much for me and I can’t wait to find a quite spot that it was my PD. Well at least I have a legitimate reason when someone asks me why I behave the way I do. Thanks for your relatable information.

I Need Your Help

I will admit that I have trouble asking for help.   I know that I have encouraged my readers to ask for support when they need it, but truthfully it’s been a challenge for me.  I know… say it isn’t so. I recently wrote a blog post “When Parkinson’s isn’t the priority” where I explain that […]
