I am excited to announce a new page on my website called “Perky’s Picks.” What is this magical page I speak of? It’s really quite awesome… I will be featuring and reviewing speciality products that help us Parkies live a better life…  but not just cream-colored, plasticky, boring, snoozeville kind of things… All the items are cheerful, bright and unique! Just like me!  Do we really need to lose our fashionista flare just because we have Parkinson’s?

If you have a product that you would like me to review, just send me a message and I will check it out!

Before I continue, please read my small print disclaimer:

* In an effort to be open and transparent with my readers, I was not compensated for this post, however some of the products mentioned in this blog post I received a free sample in exchange for a review on my website. Regardless, all opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way… unless they sent frozen yogurt.

Perky’s Pick-Stamina Compact Strider

October 12, 2016 By: PerkyParkiecomment

Let’s face it, sometimes I just don’t want to leave my couch. It’s almost as if the cushions become a vortex, pulling me back into its cozy fluffiness. It also doesn’t help that my dog Crash has magical snuggle powers. I believe that he flicks his supernatural dander dust on me which then turns me […]

I am a medical anomaly, advocate for people, freakishly smart, believer of unicorns, self-proclaimed addict of frozen yogurt, secretly a ninja, and personally planning the assassination of Barbie...Oh and I have Parkinson's disease.

2022 Parkinson’s Challenge Week 3

At the beginning of last week’s challenge of practicing self-care, I started with a nice relaxing massage.  I thought my goals were going to be easy, but then midweek, my face started drooping and I couldn’t close my right eye.  By the end of the week, I had 60-70% paralysis.  I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and have […]
