One of the keys to living with PD: “Nearly all participants became self-advocates and became educated on PD, taking an active role in the management of the disease.” @WorldPDCongress was a lifeline for me as I met so many PwP with GRIT.

How do you measure "grit"?

A survey of 101 members of online #Parkinsons support groups indicates that individuals with higher grit levels had higher emotional coping responses post diagnosis, exercised more, & were more willing to self-advocate

What happens when Parkinson's medication wears off?
Meet Paula, and her 'on' and 'off' experience with Parkinson's.
Thanks very much to Paula's stepson Owen and grandson Felix for helping to make this film.

Didn’t know this existed. Handy iPhone guide for those with Neuro conditions that affect typing e.g. fine motor control, tremor, dyskinesia, bradykinesia @naiireland @adhdireland @ParkinsonsIre https://twitter.com/kevinkrejci/status/1347064736802766848

@ParkinsonsPod @norabeet @ParkinsonsUK @ParkinsonDotOrg @MichaelJFoxOrg @johnmdean123 Here is a pretty good guide for using the iPhone, but the problem with PD are the swings between off and on (bradykinesia and dyskinesia), so settings need to synchronize with our fluctuations:

Tony Holohan: ‘we are strongly advising everyone to stay safely at home to avoid transmitting or catching this virus, as it continues to circulate widely’. 50% of spread is from people with no symptoms, 3-7 days post infection. We must hold steady as vaccination begins.
