    Well I’m one of the 25% you were talking about. I never have followed sports (so I don’t know who you’re talking about). I don’t ride a motorcycle, I’m not a big man (5’4” tall); however out of my four children three grew up to be beautiful women (my son is 6’2”) …I don’t want to say their boyfriends feared me I’ll just say they respected me. I played lead guitar in many bands back in the 60s and enjoyed every minute of it. My Parkinson’s makes what used to be so simple sometimes impossible to do now. That’s just me. I made a video about each of my four children on my UA-cam channel.

      I have several friends who don’t follow sports. I believe they are smarter than me as I can get so worked up, win or lose. You sound like a pretty tough cookie from my perspective!

    We may have a preexisting issue that over time slowly surfaces. Blows to the head and/or medications may bring it out. The environment too.
    Loss of independence is also a factor to deal with. Back injuries or other medical issues can cause limited function. We learn as we go. Peace and happiness.

      I know several people with back injuries that have really taken a toll on their quality of life. thx Joe!

    We do a lot of questioning about who we are, what we can do, what we can't do, and what does that mean????
    It's that question that can really get us stuck, BUT all of us have asked it in one framework or another, masculinity, femininity, capability, employability and so many other ways.
    If you're looking for a great insight or answers I don't have any. I just know that PD has led to a lot of questions for me and others and you're just sharing one of those questions today. 😎🌴

    A big one for me is not being able to take out the garbage in the morning on garbage day all the time

      Thx, John! I know a guy who used to play rugby and he always came back bruised and sore!

    I played hockey for nearly 30 years and suffered at least three concussions and many hard hits. Any correlation?

      It’s possible. I would ask your MDS.

    I identify as a woman big time, but concepts like masculinity and femininity, as we can see with your struggles feeling less than a man and mine, feeling less than a woman because of Parkinson’s is an indication to me but maybe these concepts aren’t so healthy… these images of ourselves that get locked in place maybe do more damage than they do good?!? Because they’re so hard to let go of!!

    This was even in the news here in Switerland. Reminds me to Muhammad Ali. Too many hits on the head are not a good thing. May it cause PD or dementia or other things.
