My Early Onset Parkinson's Journey
Welcome to A Walk in the Parkie's Blog
Who am I?
I have been on a crazy roller coaster of various diagnoses the last few years - well my whole life, really - and this is my story of how I came to my Early Onset Parkinson's diagnoses...and ultimately how this was the catalyst for my journey to a healthier me. Many of the things that have helped me along this journey -
are from reading about other people's journeys and seeing their testimony in different things they tried. My hope Is that it can inspire someone else to know while there may not be a cure - there are absolutely tools and tricks to feeling better and not only surviving but thriving with this diagnosis.
Along the way...
One of the joys that came from my health struggles was finding out we had a brother. I uploaded my data on 23 and me back in 2019, hoping to find some answers to my health issues. A few years later - our brother also uploaded data to 23 and me and that is how we found each other. I am all about finding the sparkle in an otherwise dull and painful life and this was definitely one of the positives that came from me seeking answers on my health journey.
Why did I start this blog?
When I joined a Rock Steady Boxing class, I discovered we refer to ourselves
as Parkies...when I told my mom, she said "you should write about your
journey and call it A Walk in the PARKie" and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. So here's my story, my walk in the PARKie.
