South Haven, MI

I’m wondering if anyone feels normal once on their meds? I didn’t go the pharmaceutical route and I’m doing ok , but never really feel like Parkinson’s isn’t there lurking. Does anyone ever feel 100% again? Just wonder what I may be missing?

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member One person that may be able to answer your question is Larry Gifford, who is a radio broadcaster that has a series of podcasts called When Life Gives You Parkinson’s. I have been following Larry and there are many similarities between he and I. He takes you through his journey from when he was diagnosed in August 2017 at the age of 45 to the present. https://omny.fm/shows/when-life-gives-you/playl...
