The Secret Life of Parkinson's

Episode 18: Things we fear with a Parkinson’s diagnosis


Listen Later

The Secret Life of PD: Today Brian and I discuss fears we had when we were initially diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's. Things like: will my kids get PD, will we be in a wheelchair anytime soon, will I lose cognitive abilities, or will we have a masked face (showing no emotion)? We all struggle with different fears in the beginning, but as time progresses and you start and/or continue to exercise, take medication and join a PD community, we hope that fear lessens.
