    Joe Ferguson replied to the topic Were you an athlete before diagnosis? in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 2 years, 5 months ago

      Joe, I value athletics as well. I find that they keep me grounded. And sweating helps me manage stress. Do you have a favorite kind of exercise? And how old are your kids? I’d imagine that my Dad feels the same about us 🙂 We still rough house a little bit occasionally. But we’re totally grown (he has six kids, ranging from age 21-32). Maybe you…[Read more]

    Joe Ferguson replied to the topic What PD symptom impacts your quality of life most? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 6 months ago

    I was getting some ED in the year before dx, but it was not total. My spouse and I were actually managing pretty well in spite of it. The first year and a half after dx remained the same. Then recently it went out pretty badly and now I can clearly state it has negatively affected our quality of life! I had been calling my increased drive the…[Read more]
