141 Stay on Your Feet: Preventing Falls with Parkinson's (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have Parkinson's, chances are you've thought about falling—or perhaps you've already experienced one. A fall can be more than just a bruise or a broken bone. It can affect confidence, independence and the willingness to keep moving. And once you become afraid of falling, it can be tempting to do less, which can create its own challenges. For Falls Prevention Week, September 21–25 , this episode looks at the connection between Parkinson's and falls. Why do we fall? What role do freezing, b
140 ON, OFF, and Dyskinesia: The Medication Roller Coaster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After living with Parkinson's for 10 years, I still struggle to recognize when I'm experiencing OFF time . And dyskinesia? I never quite know when it will happen or why. I'm sure I'm not alone. So, as part of our "Dr. Ospina Explains" series, I asked Dr. Ospina to break down the terms we hear so often in Parkinson's: ON, OFF, dyskinesia, dystonia, and more.

Read excerpt
Today we're talking about BeechBand , a wearable wellness device designed to support people living with neurological conditions, including Parkinson's disease. If you've spent any time in the Parkinson's community lately, you've probably heard the name. Carl Beech, the co-inventor and founder, seems to be everywhere sharing the story behind this innovative wearable. Friends of mine who have purchased a BeechBand rave about the results. Carl regularly appears in my Instagram feed, and when I atte
137 Learning to Grieve, Learning to Live (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For some reason, I've always been fascinated by grief and the grieving process. It seems to be everywhere—in the TV shows I watch, the podcasts I listen to, and the conversations I have with friends. Every one of us experiences grief, yet no two people grieve in exactly the same way. I've become curious about why that is and what we can learn from one another's experiences. That curiosity led me to attend a Support Group Leader session on grief at the World Parkinson Congress last May. One of th
