Thanks for sharing, Sharon. I’m always happy to see new communities popping up.

Sharann, I’m sorry to hear as much. Are you interested in attempting to build or join a community? Or do you value your alone time?

Thank you so much for these recommendations, Jackie.

Joanna, I’m sorry to hear as much. It seems to me that I’ve heard about a group or two that meets later in the evening. Which time zone are you in? I’ll try to keep my eyes peeled for something that might work.

Margaret, I’m someone who benefits from just a small community, too. I don’t have Parkinson’s but I do have PTSD. And sometimes it’s really helpful to talk about it with people who truly get it. I’m glad you’ve been able to find that in the Parkinson’s world!

Woohoo! Go, Barbara! I’d love to hear how it goes. Do you know if you’ll be discussing specific topics or if it’s just a general meet and greet?

Hi Jon,

My dad was diagnosed in 2013, and I haven’t heard him say anything about the heat. But I have a hard time tolerating it. Do you find that it impacts your symptoms?

I’m sorry to hear about the diagnosis, Matthew. My dad was diagnosed in 2013, and I know how life-changing it can be. But it sounds like you’re managing well? What made you suspect that you might have PD?

That sounds like a really difficult turn of events, Lisa. Have you had the chance to talk to your neurologist about your balance?

Haha! Your grandson sounds like someone who fights for what he wants. Where does he get that from?

7 marathons is pretty impressive, Nick! I’m a runner, myself. But I’m beginning to wonder if I should switch to cycling. How does it compare?
