    B: for masked face, my wife taped a big picture of me smiling (the way I USED to smile) on our bathroom mirror so I can try to practice smiling every night. Amazing what PD does to us! I need to keep practicing my facial expressions

    Great segment. Thanks & hats off for diving into the symptoms. I was diagnosed in Nov 2020. I'm always second guessing. Is the pain real, or just Parkinson's being an ass.
    Keep up the awesome work

    Brian getting this episode started properly lol!! Jessica, definitely get massages when you can, even better if you go to a place like Massage Envy which has stretching available, they’ve done wonders for my shoulders!!

    My wife uses the term "wonky" for my dyskensia. Love the show; 15+years of living with PD.

    Did you hear the new Abbvie pump was approved in Europe in January? Looks very promising and hopefully will be approved in the US soon. Do you know anyone that has tried it?

    My consultant is querying PD and when I mention I don’t blink much nothing is noted there?? Am I wrong to tell her this? My face looks worried or mad a lot too my hubby said once my face looked dead 😮that was awful actually but he didn’t mean it nasty I think he was shocked at the time. It was just a split second glance he must have gotten

      When I have masked face, it generally lasts the whole day, not just a split second. I call it my zombie look. 0:05

      @jenniferpatterson7058 They say that the one common feature to everyone who suffers from PD is Bradykinesia, i.e., slowness of walk and arm movement, generally noticeable in a change in your writing. I hope you find out that you don't have PD. It turned my life into a nightmare.

    Hello Jessica, My MDS put me on Entacapone 4XDAY which I didn’t tolerate. Now I’m on Rasagiline 1XDay
    Any thoughts on this? I’m fearful on new meds bcb my MDS didn’t explain me before prescribe me Entacapone.
    Any comments from anyone.

      I think with every symptom, we can't predict what we will get or when it will come.

    Fun and Delightful! How great to have a PD exercise facility. You must live close to a movement disorder in a big city?? Am I right?

      Whoops and sorry. That comment is out of place! (Sorta like me!) I was writing a comment on your Valentines Day post but it was a short so by time I hit send the video switched. Brian is precious...
