PD Avengers Weekly Chat - Balancing Life and PD
The PD Avengers discuss the challenges of balancing life with Parkinson's disease, emphasizing the impact of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) on daily routines. Both Tim Hague and Larry Gifford highlighted the necessity of daily naps and improved sleep post-DBS, though daytime sleepiness persisted. They shared personal strategies like improv for maintaining positivity and energy. Traveling with DBS was noted as challenging, with issues like being patted down at airports. They promoted the PD Avengers community, encouraging sign-ups to amplify their voice in ending Parkinson's. The conversation also touched on practical tips like using the sunflower card for hidden disabilities at airports. www.pdavengers.com https://sparkthenight.org https://hdsunflower.com/ ASK A QUESTION: https:///www.speakpipe.com/pdavengers Learn more about your ad choices.
