There are lots of good and bad stories of experiences with the health care system regardless of the ailment.

What experiences with doctors have you had while dealing with Parkinson’s? Do you have any recommendations of things to do?… ‘of things to never do?

Learning that you have a terrible disease is traumatic enough. What complicates things further is the anxiety about how to talk about it. This is especially true when it comes to dealing with those closest to us.

People with Parkinson’s say that the best time to tell friends and family about the disease is right away. When have you told your loved ones? Do you have any advice for others about how to talk about having Parkinsons?

Is this true? What does it feel like when you have this disease?

My favorite source for Parkinson’s information is www.parkinson.org. What other websites or blogs have you found to be useful?

There is lots of talk out there about alternative remedies. I have read that alcohol nulls the shaking of Parkinson’s. Are there other remedies?
