Parky Conversations

著者: Andi Brown
  • 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.

  • Giving Parkinson's the Old One-Two

    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?

  • Emma Stubbs Keeps Her Sense of Humor

    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.

  • Shall We Dance - And Sing - For Parkinson's?

    There's nothing fun about being diagnosed with Parkinson's, but that doesn't mean that every treatment has to cause misery. In today's episode, Andi talks about two Parkinson's "treatments" that are near and dear to her heart. Dancing, which is recommended to improve balance and coordination. And singing, which helps prevent -- among other things -- aspiration pneumonia, the leading cause of death among people with Parkinson's.
