Episode 4 - The medical landscape

Hello everyone,

Episode 3 was primarily devoted to Parkinsons "fluctuations", and by sheer coincidence you were witnessing me having a fluctuation (if you hadn't stopped listening already) for about the last 20 minutes - episode 4 opens with an explanation of that.  In episode 4 I share with you my own PD journey as it relates to medications, again, remember, I am not a medical professional, I am simply sharing with you my journey.  You must always discuss your needs and medications with your neurologist and ensure your neurologist and primary care doctor are in good coordination with one another to minimize the risk of accidental drug interactions, and certainly report to both any side effects you have from any new medications you are prescribed.  

Thanks to all that have been watching and commenting on the various social media content posts that I have made, and for all those that have donated to the October Michael J Fox Foundation For Parkinsons Research that I have signed up for.  I believe I have replied personally to all of you that donated, if I missed anyone, please excuse me, it's only because I missed it or simply still am not getting the hang of FB.  Also, thanks to Tina In Fort Lauderdale for signing up herself for the challenge and raising funds herself for the MJF Foundation - a tremendously supportive and progressive foundation, staffed with wonderful people.  Enjoy the show, see you next week for episode 5 which will feature a special guest who is a medical professional - listen to episode 4 to get more details.  Have a great week everyone and again, thank you for your support, please spread the word about the podcast so we can reach more people that may find it helpful in their own journey.

Take care,

Geoff
