    Hi Wobblygirl, I’m sure your band is very glad to have you, and yes, I would love to see a band made up of PWP! I haven’t played clarinet since my early twenties and my mouth hurts just thinking about having to relearn how to play with a reed … but maybe I should give it another whirl. I loved playing when I was younger and I really miss being…[Read more]

    Thanks for sharing, Mike! How long have you been trying acupuncture? Does it target specific areas? Does it hurt?

    Hi Gauri, if you feel comfortable, perhaps you can drop your social media URLs in a comment so folks can follow you. 🙂

    Hi Rick, when did you make the move to a more accessible home? Were you able to remain in the same community?

    <span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Do you work with any alternative health practitioners as part of your care team? For example, a naturopath or Chinese medicine expert? Why did you choose to work with them and how is it going? </span>

    Ally replied to the topic Are you sticking with your resolutions? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 1 week, 3 days ago

    Thanks for sharing, Marcus. Some days it’s hard to find the drive to do the things we know we need to do. Have you read Atomic Habits? In it the author talks about setting up small cues to help make following through on our goals a little easier (.e., habitual!). Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re interested in learning more about…[Read more]

    Ally replied to the topic Do you have any goals or resolutions for 2023? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    I love this. Is ‘joy’ your word of the year? Mine is ‘proactive’. 🙂

    Some of my goals for this quarter include donating blood, reading at least 6 new books, saving a specific amount for a financial goal (a portion of my goal for the year), and planning a special event for my Dad’s birthday, which is in March.

    Thanks, Simmon – I agree! I have actually learned a lot about people and experiences different from my own from Tiktok. I haven’t yet come across any Parkinson’s content but I’m sure now that I’ve typed this reply, I will. It’s amazing how social media can support understanding and education across sometimes fast geographic, experiential and…[Read more]

    Ally replied to the topic Happy New Year! in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 2 weeks, 3 days ago

    Hi Alan, it’s 1/22! 🙂

    I had a FitBit a few years ago – a very early, very inexpensive model – so its features were limited and didn’t include sleep tracking. Is your model supposed to be able to do that? Perhaps try contacting customer support. I had a few issues with my FitBit and I was always amazed at the quality of support the company…[Read more]

    I love the topic of resolutions and goal-setting, Mary Beth! What kind of manuscript are you working on? Have you laid out a plan or steps you will take to achieve your goal of completing it this year?

    I have about 13 goals, but I’ve split them up over the 4 quarters of the year so I don’t get overwhelmed and give up. The main theme for my 2023…[Read more]

    Hello Wobblygirl, and hello to a fellow musician. 🙂 I’m a former clarinetist. Do you play professionally or as a hobby? Have you had to find another instrument or interest since developing PD?

    Hi Steve, thanks for sharing. I, too, love walking long distances. I’m sorry PD has made this difficult. What form(s) of exercise do you enjoy now?

    It’s hard to believe but Christmas is only a few days away! To everyone celebrating, I hope you have a merry Christmas with your loved ones. 

    If you are celebrating, what are some of your favorite aspects of the Christmas season? For me, it’s spending time with family, and enjoying Christmas music. My favourite Christmas Spotify playlist is play…[Read more]
