What’s something most people don’t understand?
Most people don’t understand that Parkinson’s is not just about tremors and mobility issues. It is a whole lot more!
Recently diagnosed with Parkinsons' this Blog is about my personal experience with getting a diagnosis, dealing with the diagnosis and what has helped me. It is hoped that by sharing my experiences, I can encourage others to take the step to seek a diagnosis and to find a way to 'live well' with a path we did not choose, but that we must walk. I call it "Parkies" because it makes it sound a little less serious and maybe even a bit "friendly" for if I cannot avoid the association I can perhaps find a way to walk with it.

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful. View more posts

I agree. Grrr is the right response. What does a person with PD look like? Of course, we must all look the same, mustn’t we!?!
