Last month, I had my 7 year anniversary of being diagnosed with #yopd. I’ve only changed my med dosage twice and most ppl in my life still don’t know. I’m still unsure about sharing my fuss as diagnosis d with them.

@FulvioCapitanio Great advice, thank you.

@tinselchut Thanks for sharing this! Similar story. I went to my Gen. Doc and straight out asked him if i had PD! He said no, you’re to young and i’ll prove you dont. Many test and months later i was in fact diagnosed with PD.

@elabibkiyarash Thank you! My bad days are getting worse and there seem to be less good days…but I’ll take as many mediocre days as I can!

With the help of @onepeloton I’ve been exercising and focusing on getting my heart rate up every day this month. Symptoms and sleep…doing “slightly” better!

"I know Michael J. Fox.
Like, I know him pretty damn well. He's funny. He's warm. He's handsome and intensely smart. He also falls a lot. Not just because he has Parkinson's. He falls a lot because he's unafraid to fly."

Six months of 5-6 days a week of high intensity interval training called the Beat Parkinson's program increased dopamine transporter binding in putamen and nigra of people with Parkinson's! https://t.co/p4bllAWzzL

Nice interview of Nicole Polinski - director of the Preclinical Tools Program at @MichaelJFoxOrg; "The biggest value for researchers is to understand & view the disease through a different lens that may not be as clear without the patient perspective"

It’s the 205th New Year since James Parkinson presented his paper on ‘Shaking Pawlsey’, aka #Parkinsons Disease.
The years go by. We wait and wait again for the breakthrough that will take this pain, this cruel affliction away. The research is brilliant…the results?
We wait…😢
