What is Mother’s Day? I believe it’s a chance for us to celebrate and reflect on the incredible mom’s out there. I wanted to share stories of three remarkable women who have found the strength and determination to overcome the challenges of motherhood with Parkinson’s disease. Melonie Larsen’s Story “Something I found challenging being a […]
What Barkinson’s Means To Me
*I’m finally getting back to my life after having my medical setback and feeling better each day. I want to thank you for all the love and support that you sent my way. I would like to share a post I wrote… or should I say, Crash wrote on parkinsonsdisease.net. Enjoy! We know […]
When Parkinson’s is not the priority
Maybe you’ve been thinking, “Where is Perky Parkie?” I know that it has been a few weeks since I blogged and I have received many messages of concern from my amazing readers. I am sad to say that I have had a medical setback. It’s not that I’m ignoring you, or that you guys smell […]
Parkinsons is messing with my speech
Anyone who has met me knows that I talk fast. This has always been true, but as Parkinson’s gets more involved in my life, my quick speech has been amplified and mushed, I will go into more detailed later. I didn’t know how difficult it was for others to understand me until I started hearing […]

I rented a movie called “Seeking a friend for the end of the world” staring Keira Knightley and Steve Carell. Heads up! Here’s your spoiler alert…..if you have not seen this movie. With the knowledge of the past projects that both of these actors have been apart of, I was expecting a light-hearted comedy, […]
My Hallucinations
My hallucinations started off fairly harmless, entertaining even. At first, I would just see something out of the corner of my eye… like when I walked my dog Crash and a thought I saw a shadow move. But when I turn to face the dark figure, there was nothing there. This was the beginning of a […]
What is Love?
I remember when I was growing up, Valentine’s Day was such an awesome holiday. It was one of my favorites that I looked forward to each year, the celebration of love.
