Every minute of every day someone in the world is diagnosed with #parkinsons Yet public awareness and understanding remains frustratingly low. Help raise #parkinsonsawareness by sharing the facts ..they speak for themselves
Developing Parkinson's introduced me to Dancing with Parkinsons, and the exploratory work of @DanielleTeale and #jakaskiapin. I had never danced before, and found it both useful exercise and a wonderful form of creative personal development - it made me a better person. – at Hackney, London

Listening to @jennyeclair on the #olderandwiderpodcast talking about #drawersoff and how an #artstudio is her #happyplace. Couldn’t agree more. Life can be tough. Art sees me thru every #hillockofpillocks I come across. Show was awesome. Thanks again @ImaginaryMarts too. Xxx

As we near the end of #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth, Kuhan shows what living with #Parkinson’s can look like. The symptoms, the medication, the care he receives, and his hopes for the future. Watch part 3 of @morethanatremor here prksn.uk/37ATlct

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we would reach a million in minutes and be able to show all NHS staff the support they continue to need. It will take just a few seconds of your life but could make such a difference.

While preparing for the new CID Poplar sessions, beginning in February, I found these three short IG videos by the wonderful Miranda July. Dance like you've got Parkinson's, dress like you spent a fiver, max...! instagram.com/mirandajuly?ut…

It’s hard. Maybe not everyone has a horrible experience. I don’t think anyone has a wonderful experience. Maybe it’s the progression. Some people suffer more. Whether/when I’ll get there I cannot think about. I have more symptoms than others and less than others.
