  • Do you have a lot of Parkinson’s secrets?

    Posted by Mary Beth Skylis on May 3, 2021 at 12:17 pm

    It isn’t uncommon for us to keep information to ourselves when we’re going through difficult times. For many, this strategy is a protective coping mechanism. Others just prefer not to talk about the symptoms. I, personally, struggle to talk about taboo topics like the digestive tract and intimacy.

    Do you have a lot of Parkinson’s secrets? And if you prefer to keep them to yourselves, why?

    Yes, indeed! People around me have to deal w my obvious pk symptoms, let alone the less obvious ones, like constipation, bladder and sleep issues.
    If I were in a relationship, I wd not share sexual problems.
    A pk group on FB was the FIRST to allow a question about alcohol use…ff by many candid responses…was refreshing…
