It’s not often that I don’t have any words to express how I am feeling. I have lost a close friend. Her name was Sharon. I called her Shar-Bear. She called me Amazing Allison, but truthfully, she was the amazing one. I met her at the Parkinson’s Long Beach Marathon over 10 years ago. She and her husband, […]

I apologize for the long delay in my blog posts, but this chicky has been traveling! First stop was Las Vegas for The Davis Phinney Victory Summit.

I Have To Be Honest
I have been thinking about how to start this blog. I know that it has been a long time since I have written a new post. I wish I had a better explanation other than I just didn’t feel like writing about Parkinson’s. I needed a break from it consuming my life. A necessary mini-mental vacation you may […]

Can video games help your Parkinson’s?
When I was growing up, my brother and I loved playing video games. We would go to the local arcade and plucked coin after coin in the slot to keep on playing classics like Pac-Man or Mario bros. Then came the evolution of video games with the release of Atari, Sega, and Nintendo home gaming systems. Now, […]
11 Things That I Know Are True
Today is my 11th anniversary of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I don’t know how to describe it because it feels like it can’t possibly be true when I say it out loud. It seems so much longer since that day, but on the other hand, could I have really spent over a decade with this slow-moving, […]

It’s been a few years since I posted the Parkinson’s Urban Dictionary, so I thought we should add some more words that we’ve learned. Here goes… It seems like in this day and age, people have created their own language. Yes, I may type in English but don’t act like you don’t know what I […]
