Parky Conversations - Coming Soon!

I’m Andi Brown, the creator and host of Parky Conversations. I was diagnosed at the age of seventy.&nbsp; I discovered that writing my blog, Moving and Shaking, afforded me a vehicle for coping with, and even laughing at, my disease, and at aging in general. &nbsp; In Parky Conversations, I will talk about my own experiences with PD, I’ll introduce us to some of my fellow “Parkies,” and I’ll&nbsp; interview physicians and scientists who are studying aspects of the disease – such as the surge in creativity in some, the ability to detect Parkinson’s by the way someone smells, and why people see insects cavorting in their underwear. &nbsp; There are around one million Americans living with Parkinson’s right now.&nbsp; Listen up and learn about an illness that no one ever expects, that presents daily challenges and that sometimes we just have to laugh at.&nbsp;
