Welcome to recentlydiagnosedwithpd.org. Our blog was developed and is administered by Diane Cook and Betsy Vierck, both of whom were diagnosed with PD in 2009. Our goal is to provide a forum for people who want to learn about their disease and how to minimize its toll.
We cover those topics that are uniquely important to people who have been recently diagnosed with PD. In this spirit, we write about everything from the therapies that are thought to prevent the dopamine centers in our brains from dying off to our personal experiences with living with the disease. We share tips that we have discovered and that readers have shared with us. And we provide interviews with experts in PD and other important areas such as nutrition and exercise.
We would like to hear from you. If you have any tips or other information to share please write to us or post an entry.
Please note: We think that sharing information about the frustrations of living with PD is important for our well being, but we do not want to get stuck there. We would like this blog’s content to be upbeat and action-oriented. So, we have a request. Please share only necessary information about your physical or mental condition and life circumstances.
Keep your focus on facing the challenge of living with Parkinson’s disease with optimism and action.
