- 85 year old mother with PD
I really appreciate the content here, it’s well presented and seems well researched, yet not lobbied.
My 85 year old mother has been living with the diagnosis for nearly 12 years now, and I love the fact that I can not only understand in part it’s progression but it’s treatment as well, in no small part due to this podcast.
It has also helped me communicate better with my siblings what is/is not happening with her symptoms and ensuing anxieties.

United States2 years ago - Getting away from Parkinson’s
I enjoyed the positivity that the panelists exuded in their recollection of daily life with PD without feeling its burden ! As a happy Mom of 2 loving adult children, wife, researcher, nutritionist, avid tennis player, my life was interrupted by YOPD 12 years ago but instead of wallowing in my sorrow, I chose to accept the affliction as I would accept letting an annoying neighbor live with me for the rest of my life! I rather adjust to my new condition than fight it as one of your panelists all... more
Apple Podcasts5Caring FayeUnited States4 years ago - Grouchy PD husband
Thank you for your very informative podcast. My husband was diagnosed 5 years ago. His mother also had Parkinsons but it was a very mild case. My question is this: Are mood changes common with this disease? My sweet, loving husband has turned into a grouchy complainer. I can’t seem to do anything right in his opinion. I look forward to your answer.
