    When you are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you automatically become a member of an international club of more than 7 – 10 million members worldwide. How have you connected with other people living with Parkinson’s — online or in-person or both? Are you more connected to other patients who live near you or are your connections spread out around the world?

    I think it is so important to connect with others who suffer from PD.  Someone who does not have the disease finds it difficult to understand what we go through.  Only someone else who suffers from the disease ‘gets it’.  I am a member of several facebook groups and I also take Rock Steady boxing classes 2x/week where all the students have PD.
