Excited to read this #yopd #parkinsons

The Parkinson’s Foundation is deeply saddened by the passing of music legend Ozzy Osbourne, just weeks after his farewell show. Since his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in 2019, Osbourne publicly shared his journey and brought greater awareness to the challenges of living with PD.

Thanks for reading the article!

Yes - I closed it and am in the process of analyzing the data. I’ll delete the link in a few but wanted to respond to you first. I’ll post the results when they are published.

It is so challenging - I definitely thought I wouldn't have the same problems, being educated, and advocating, and yet still these problems happened to me...it is a very helpless feeling. We need more systemic change!

Life with Parkinson’s: A cupcake, a pillow, and a table — WPC Blog by Rebecca Miller, PhD

Today is the first day of April, aka #Parkinsonsdisease awareness month. Ever wondered what it's like to live with #parkinsons? Here's my take, although the experience is constantly changing #yopd #chronicillness
www.worldpdcongress.org/home/2025/1/...

The hidden medication putting Parkinson's patients at risk People with Parkinson's disease should list Haldol as an allergy in their medical records to avoid severe complications from this contraindicated medication.

On this first day of #Parkinsonsdisease awareness month, posting an article about an important risk for people with #PD to be aware of - contraindicated medications, and one hack to try and avoid them #yopd #parkinsons

Down with PD awareness! Up up with a cure! I almost thought of that as an April fool's joke (that the cure was here) but seemed excessively cruel...At least April is also Poetry Month here in the US.

It's not brain surgery: People with Parkinson's need better care in the hospital My brain surgery was a success; I am grateful to be apple-picking with my daughter this year. And yet, I think of others with PD in the hospital and know we must do better.

It's #Parkinsonsdisease awareness month, no foolin'. Here's an important article talking about #Pd care in the #hospital. Sadly still relevant. #yopd @pfresearchteam.bsky.social kevinmd.com/2022/10/its-...
