Surely you won’t let this old guy with Parkinson’s beat you to the basket will you? Care to wager? You may win some $, but you’ll also have to hear about living life with untreated Parkinson’s.

Fear, flow, indomitable soul. Kind of important stuff. Sort of a framework for performing in front of audiences. That’s the goal. Keep climbing y’all! https://t.co/NYaViDWBL1

Parkinson’s, you are a strange one. But I’m starting to understand. Becoming a little less scared… https://t.co/dOBTzQBkUt

We are not just irrelevant, we are threatened with trespassing if we show up to one of their events patients were excluded from. Can’t make this stuff up. Zero accountability for it.

Ask me what Parkinson’s feels like and I can give you page after page of descriptive information about what’s going on in my body and mind at the very least. Ask a researcher how Parkinson’s feels and they can’t give you a single word. Yet, we are irrelevant?

Without Parkinson’s, I would’ve been blind to suffering of so many. With PD I see it, feel it, I act.

I don’t know if there’s a reason why bad things happen. I do know I can create one. I can make 10, 1,000, or 1 million resulting good things happen. The question then becomes: Is there a reason why something so fortunate happened for me?

I get I can be too hopeful for many people struggling with Parkinson’s. If you find that the case, you won’t want to read this. If you’re a person searching for hope for any challenge, I hope this helps. https://t.co/trgpZkWpn1

When people see someone build a business from very little into their life's work - Driveline, for example - the two reactions tend to be people idolizing founders for their insane work ethic, and people who say it was all luck. They're both wrong, of course. It is most obvious

If there’s a scientist or philosopher that really wants to understand humanity, they will slowly kill off their dopamine-making neurons and they will begin to uncover answers. It’s beyond fascinating to witness what propels me and what grounds me. It’s pulling back the curtain.

If you can boldly deconstruct that thing that tortures you and instead long to understand it, take interest in it, perhaps find humor in the madness, it will at least no longer trouble you. It will most likely open your eyes to possibility and evolve you.

Yesterday I posted a piece about belief in possibility. Today, I reveal the source of much of my belief.

Glad to see mindset and attitude acknowledged in healthcare. But it’s beyond concerning how we missed it for so long. Please, explain.

Would it have helped to have understood possibilities with Parkinson’s disease sooner? For me, yes. I feel there are many possibilities for fulfilling life well after diagnosis. Maybe my own experience is helpful. https://t.co/KrJvxRCo8Q

Your Brain: Who’s in Control? (Nova) provides narration to these videos of mobility with Parkinson’s. They actually resonate with me when I’m testing such things.

It’s a funny thing in Parkinson’s Research. They seem to be afraid to take a s**** until Bas Bloem publishes a study concluding it’s okay to take a s***. 😂

For those lucky enough to receive treatment..Far too many lived w/o basic life-changing medication far too long. We can’t cure-all, but we could’ve been doing so much more. And you’re meeting in Hawaii? Probably $20 million cost. That’s 12-months L-dopa for 40,000 ppl!

I think a lot of our strength comes from fighting for others. That’s when we feel most alive. When my ambition is righting a wrong somebody else endures, I can usually free myself of Parkinson’s. When my ambition is to free myself of Parkinson’s, I usually can’t. Makes me think.

Neurology/neuroscience is failing its most fundamental objectives: disease understanding and access to treatment. Please allow me to demonstrate/explain…
