Parkiemom13

As of 8/12/26, I am back. I want to apologize for my absence from this platform for the last year. The day after my last video, 5/13/25, I was admitted to the hospital for the 1st of what would become many times. Working on a video now to explain everything. I am a 52 year old woman diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) at age 43. I have 4 children ages 28, soon to be 21, 10, and 7. I found out I was pregnant 7 months after my diagnosis and was able to carry my son to full term without any complications and I even breastfed for 5 months (while on Rytary). Why start a channel now? Because 3 weeks ago (in November 2024) I was the 8th person nationally to receive the newly FDA approved Vyalev infusion pump! Yay me! I have had many questions about my experience which lead me to this platform. I want to share all my experiences (the good and bad, and the Giants) with anyone interested. I am so excited about this new endeavor and can't wait to grow the Parkinson's community.
