In this episode we look at how drugs for Epilepsy are used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's. We look at the risks and rewards of the medications. The rewards are obvious, but what are the risks of using Epilepsy drugs and are they worth it long term. 

This is the first episode of the You, Me, and PD ASMR sessions. In it we use song lyrics from before, during, and after my Parkinson's diagnosis. The purpose is to help tackle a common problem of those with Parkinson's...falling asleep. I hope this helps. 

In season 1, episode 6, we talk about apathy, fatigue, and how it can keep you trapped as a hostage in your life with Parkinson's. We discuss ways on how to get out of the blanket that you're under, how easy it is to get in it, and how hard it can be to get out from under it once you're in it. 

In this episode we look at the diagnosis process from start to finish through an unusual view. We discuss the reasons behind each test and even on healthcare in the US and how that plays a role in the confusion in global conversations related to treatment. Enjoy!

Thinking outside the box in getting to the WPC with points or miles for yourself or as a way to raise money for your favorite charity. DISCLAIMER: This isn't for everyone, but is something I do, so I thought I would share my thoughts and experience.
