Telling someone that you have Parkinson's is a very personal choice. It may be years later before you make the decision to tell others about Parkinson's disease. It makes you vulnerable. How do you tell your spouse, kids, parents, etc? Daniel walks listeners through his experience so that it can possibly help you. His son was 10 years old when he decided that his son needed to know. He was afraid that if he didn't tell him then what would be the consequences if his son heard it from others. Also, Daniel explores his own fear of telling others while deciding if his career would be limited if too many people know. It's very complicated. Add your experience and suggestions to the conversation. If you would like to leave Daniel a voice message and you live in the U.S. call 1-706-873-1656. Email us [email protected].
