Summary
How do I tell my children about my Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis? How do I explain a tremor to my grandkids? How can I support my parent with Parkinson’s from a distance? How can my spouse and I communicate around a symptom of apathy? Every year our community submits thousands of questions online and at in-person events. Many are about Parkinson’s symptoms, treatment options and the latest research, but we’re also asked questions about relationships and how to maintain connection with loved ones with Parkinson’s in the picture. In this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Parkinson’s Podcast, our expert panel tackles questions on relationships and shares their personal experiences and advice.
