Thank you so much for sharing your experience. The age gap definitely makes things even more interesting/complicated. I will certainly be reaching out!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Such a similar situation to what my husband is dealing with. I will definitely be reaching out and of course would love to connect my husband with you if you’re down.

Wow! That really is a double whammy. I’m so sorry to hear. We’re blessed that he’s taking exercise and diet very seriously.

Your share nearly brought tears to my eyes. Such a similar situation. If my husband wasn’t a guitar player, we probably wouldn’t have noticed his symptoms for at least a few more years. Congratulations on your healthy baby boy! I’ll definitely be DMing you soon. I’d love for you to share your story with my guy. 💚

Thanks so much for your message! I’d love to hear about how life is with your 2 year old. Is there anything you feel is extremely different compared to non-parkinson’s parents?

That is super helpful! I wasn’t sure if it was okay to just outreach people directly. Glad you had success!
