  • サマリー

  • I’m Andi Brown, the creator and host of Parky Conversations. I was diagnosed at the age of seventy. I discovered that writing my blog, Moving and Shaking, afforded me a vehicle for coping with, and even laughing at, my disease, and at aging in general.


    In Parky Conversations, I will talk about my own experiences with PD, I’ll introduce us to some of my fellow “Parkies,” and I’ll interview physicians and scientists who are studying aspects of the disease – such as the surge in creativity in some, the ability to detect Parkinson’s by the way someone smells, and why people see insects cavorting in their underwear.


    There are around one million Americans living with Parkinson’s right now. Listen up and learn about an illness that no one ever expects, that presents daily challenges and that sometimes we just have to laugh at.

    When most people think about Parkinson’s they think of tremors and Michael J. Fox, but there’s a lot more to this disease. And some Parkinson’s symptoms are just plain weird. I recently got the chance to talk with Fred Zalonis, a 73 year old retired engineer who was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s 15 years ago. In today's episode, Fred and I compare notes on the hallucinations we have experienced since developing Parkinson's, and I dig into the science of hallucinations with Ramona Weil, Parkinson's researcher and Professor of Neurology at University College London.

    Never in a million years did Andi ever think she'd lace up a pair of boxing gloves. In fact, she was rather disapproving of boxing as a sport. But as soon as she was diagnosed people started saying, "I've heard boxing is a really good thing to do if you have Parkinson's." So Andi tried a class at Rock Steady Boxing -- a program specifically for people with Parkinson's, and boxing is now her favorite thing to do on Saturday mornings. But if boxing is suspected as the cause of Parkinson's in people like Muhammad Ali, why is it also used as a treatment?

    A little more than two years ago, I began my blog as a way of coping with both the physical and emotional pain of Parkinson's. As I was trying to figure out where I fit in the blogging universe, I stumbled upon a blog called Who Stole My Dopamine? I read, I laughed, I subscribed, and I laughed some more. In this episode, I talk with Emma Stubbs, the creator of Who Stole My Dopamine, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 42. And I learn more about young onset Parkinson's from Dr. Rodolfo Savica who leads the Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease and Synucleinopathies Lab at the Mayo Clinic.
