You ever have that pain that just doesn’t make sense? One day it’s your back, the next it’s your calves — then your hands feel like somebody lit a match under your skin. That’s Parkinson’s pain — and here’s the kicker… nobody warned me about it.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I dive into the different types of Parkinson’s pain that most people never talk about — and what’s actually helped me manage it after nearly 15 years of living with the disease.

We’ll cover:

💢 Stiffness pain (the “duct tape” ache that won’t quit)

🦵 Joint pain from bad posture and rigidity

🌀 Dystonia pain (the muscle twisting that feels impossible)

⚡ Neuropathic pain — those burning, tingling shocks

💊 And even medication-related pain when your meds wear off

I also share real-life coping strategies — from pacing and micro-breaks to massage, heat/cold contrast, breathing resets, and adaptive tools that make daily life less painful.

Because while Parkinson’s pain is invisible to others, it’s very real to us. And the good news? There are ways to take back control.

You ever walk into a room and forget why you went there? Or open the fridge and stare at it like it’s going to give you the answer? That’s Parkinson’s brain fog — and if you know, you know.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share my five favorite brain fog hacks — simple, real-life tricks that help me stay sharp when my brain decides to take a coffee break.

We’ll cover:

🧠 How movement clears mental clutter (even when you don’t feel like it)

📋 Why shrinking your to-do list can boost productivity

⏰ The reminders, whiteboards, and 3-task rule that keep me on track

😴 The “power pause” trick that beats burnout without turning into a nap marathon

🎵 And the sensory sparks — music, scents, humor — that wake up your brain when nothing else works

Plus, I share bonus community hacks, like dancing in the kitchen, using sticky notes everywhere, and one hilarious story about finding a TV remote in the fridge (don’t ask).

Stick around for the end — there’s a Bryce-ism that might just change how you think about fog forever.

Did you know that within five years of starting Levodopa, more than half of people with Parkinson’s experience “wearing-off” every single day? I didn’t believe it either — until it started happening to me.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share five real-life hacks for surviving wearing-off — the moments when your meds stop working before your next dose kicks in:

1️⃣ Track your timing (and spot your pattern)

2️⃣ Plan your day around your “on” times

3️⃣ Use small snacks and stretches to bridge the gap

4️⃣ Bring real data to your neurologist — not just feelings

5️⃣ Always have a rescue plan (your kit, your calm, your backup dose)

These are the practical strategies I’ve learned after 15 years of living with Parkinson’s — and they’ve saved me from some of the most frustrating, embarrassing, and even scary moments of wearing-off in public.

Stick around to the end for a Bryce-ism that reframes how to live with your rhythm, not fight against it.

Up to 60% of people with Parkinson’s say fatigue is their most disabling symptom — even more than tremors. And after 15 years of living with it, I can tell you… I believe it.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I’m sharing five real-life tricks that help me fight back against Parkinson’s fatigue — not theory, but what I actually use in my daily life:

1️⃣ The “20-20-20 Recharge Rule” — how I stop fatigue before it stops me.

2️⃣ Smart protein timing (and yes, I’m still keeping my bacon).

3️⃣ Finding the sweet spot for naps — no more three-hour “hibernation naps.”

4️⃣ Moving when you’re tired — why light movement can actually boost your energy.

5️⃣ Habit stacking — simple ways to double your energy by pairing routines.

You’ll also hear community fatigue hacks, like cold-water resets and short medication breaks — proof that together, we’re figuring this out one smart trick at a time.

Imagine stepping off the curb into traffic and your feet freeze mid-step. Cars are moving, the light is green — but your body hits pause. That’s freezing of gait, and it’s one of the most terrifying symptoms of Parkinson’s.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, we’re breaking down:

🧊 What freezing of gait actually is and why it happens

🚪 Common triggers like doorways, stairs, and crowds

🎵 The tricks that help me get unstuck — from counting out loud to humming “Stayin’ Alive”

🚶‍♂️ Real-life moments where freezing stopped me cold — including one in the middle of traffic

We’ll also talk about what makes freezing so emotionally exhausting and how humor, music, and strategy can help you take back control.

And stick around until the end for a Bryce-ism that reminds us that even when our feet stop — our spirit doesn’t have to.

Parkinson’s can steal your movement — but sometimes, the medication can steal your judgment.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I’m uncovering one of the most shocking and least talked-about side effects of Parkinson’s treatment: Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs).

We’ll talk about how Parkinson’s medications — especially dopamine agonists — can sometimes lead to urges that feel completely out of character:

🎰 Gambling

🛒 Overspending or compulsive shopping

🍪 Binge eating

🔥 Sudden hypersexuality

🕹️ Obsessive hobbies or online behaviors

The scary part? It can happen years after starting your meds — even if everything seemed fine before.

I’ll share real community stories, red flags to watch for, and what to do if it happens to you or someone you love. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how awareness and honesty can prevent heartbreak before it happens.

Stick around to the end for a Bryce-ism that’ll make you rethink how you look at your meds… and yourself.

With Parkinson’s, food isn’t just fuel — it can be the difference between your meds working or not working at all.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I dive into how food impacts your Parkinson’s symptoms, medication, and energy levels. We’ll talk about:
🥦 The foods that help (fiber, omega-3s, antioxidants, hydration)
🥩 The foods that hurt (protein timing, processed foods, sugar, excess dairy)
🍲 Real-life meal strategies and community tips that actually work

I’ll also share a few of my own food stories — including one unforgettable steak dinner that taught me a hard lesson about Levodopa timing — and some of the funniest, most helpful food hacks from you, the Doing Life Today community.

Because food isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about dignity, connection, and learning to make choices that keep you feeling like you.
