Thank you for this podcast. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's when I was 44, I'm now 46 with a family. This is so encouraging. This is a scary journey because of anxiety and depression.
I can’t express how much your podcast has helped me … and I was diagnosed 17 years ago when I was 40… thank you for sharing your experience so openly ❤
These diagnosis stories are what I’ve really been searching for and there really aren’t a lot on KZread. Having more diagnoses stories of people would be a great idea for continuing content. Thanks for all y’all do.

That's a good point. We talk to a lot of patients about specific issues, but we don't have that many episodes on patients actual diagnosis stories. That's a good idea for a "series" or playlist. Thanks for the advice!
Jessica, MJF is our poster boy and you are our poster girl. And of course we love Brian too (only his art is slightly less known than Michael’s)
Love your podcast, Jessica and Brian you are awesome, I love how you keep it so real and informative. I was diagnosed in 2016 with PD, I'm currently taking the test to see if I qualify for DBS, listing to Brian and his journey with this procedure is comforting to know that there is help and hope for this awful disease, love you two keep up this astonishing work that you do

Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing Jess. :)
Thank you for sharing. Have you considered doing a podcast on treating PD with Traditional Chinese Medicine?
I'm the same person but so different. I used to feel and look 10 years younger than my actual age. Now I feel 10 years older, and on days when I suffer from severe mask face and my Bradykinesia is really bad even 20 years older.

@@thesecretlifeofparkinsons You always look great on the vlogs.
I’m 71 and have been officially diagnosed on May 29, 2022. It was my 70th birthday. I know I’ve had symptoms for several years I saw the poscast with Dr Patel about Bo tox. I have a big issue with my jaw being shaking and get very rigid. Would Botox hel with that?
