I’d love to know you all if you feel like sharing a bit about yourselves.
I’m Lois and I live near Los Angeles, CA. I am 68 and am a wife and mother. I’m a genealogist, working on and off these days. I have a treasured golden retriever named Libby. I was diagnosed with PD 5 years ago.
Your turn…
Hi Lois I think we have known each other for over 60 yrs! I was diagnosed PD then it was changed to Parkinsonism and then nope it’s just an essential tremor. I have not only you my friend with PD but my cousin Carol’s husband also has PD. I keep track of what is going on with the people I care about! Hugs
Hi Laura, feel free to share this site with others who have Parkinson’s!
Hi everyone, I am Joanne and met Lois 2 years ago when she came to our YMCA to nudge me to start a Parkinson’s Fitness program in her community. In January 2025, we launched our Parkinson’s Fitness program. Within months we capped out at 30 participants. I am proud to be a friend and champion of Lois and the PD community. I don’t have PD, but believe in fighting for your health every day we have on this earth. I am so proud to be Lois’ friend and supporter of her blog.
Joanne! Thank you for this lovely message. I have often talked about how this Fitness Class got off the ground at the Y, and when speaking to people in other parts of the country where fewer Parkinson’s resources are available, I suggest approaching leadership at their local Y to start a class. Take note, Erin, we talked about the Y near where your dad lives in MA! Go for it!
