Thanks for a great podcast! While not sugar-coating anything, you both give hope and positivity. As a caregiver, your recommendations are well taken, and help me feel like yep I'm part of this community too. My husband wp sure needs an aware caretaker and listening to you helps me understand his changes and my role. Thanks a bunch!
Heather and Kat, great fresh humour on Unfiltered! You have been amongst my online care partner partners for years. Thanks for great podcasts. Connie Carpenter Phinney gave you big ups in New Zealand Living Positively with Parkinsons conference, last week. Connie was lovely, I hope she is home catching her breath. Im greatful to have acces to the wonderful people and resources at Davis Phinney Foundation. 🙏
I’ve learned so much ❤listening to you both. I’ve just recently been diagnosed and I can relate to each of you in the Davis Phinney group of ‘helpers and ambassadors’. Is there any real hope for me to join the group? Thank you for your honesty. I have no one in my life at the moment that seems interested or comfortable with me in this new life. I need people and I know I have something that they might need also. Kind regards, Mary Jackson

That half question is one that is really big in my life. Here's my diagnosis story GI, PT, PT, GI, chiropractor, early menopause at 46, PT, GI, PT, menopause/urology, PT, MRI to rule out other diseases, Parkinson's. My 10 year journey to my diagnosis somehow doesn't count? 😮
thank you for sharing your story. it is so frustrating to have a long, winding journey to diagnosis that isn't represented in your official medical diagnosis. we hear you, and you're alone in that.

I've tried to explain tnere is nothing wrong when I cry at nothing, but my husband gets mad and tells me he can't talk about anything with me. I can't change it though I've gone on anti- depressants to try. I feel stuck

How do I find out ahead of time when these podcasts or UA-cam programs will air so I could be part of the live audience?
