How to Explain Parkinson’s Fatigue to Friends & Family


Listen Later

Have you ever tried to explain Parkinson’s fatigue, only to get the same blank stare you’d get if you said you were tired from binge-watching Netflix?

This episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality is all about giving you the words, analogies, and one-liners to help your friends and family actually get it.

Because Parkinson’s fatigue isn’t just being tired. It’s like living with a phone battery that never charges past 30%… or running on a gas tank that starts half empty. It’s mental as much as it is physical — and no nap or “good night’s sleep” is going to fix it.

I’ll walk you through the myths to bust, the things not to say, and simple scripts that make the invisible visible. Plus, you’ll unlock a Bryce-ism at the end that sums up fatigue in a single line that might just save you a long explanation.

If you’ve ever wished people could understand what you’re really going through, this one’s for you.

🚨 If you’re newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s and wondering “Now what?” — I’ve got you covered.
