Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s appointment thinking, “What just happened?” Yeah… me too.

For years, I nodded politely through my Parkinson’s appointments — smiling, pretending to understand — until I realized I wasn’t asking the right questions.

Today, I’m sharing the 3 questions that completely changed how I talk to my doctor… and how I live with Parkinson’s.

These questions don’t just belong in your medical appointments — they belong in your life.

Stay tuned till the end — because I’ll be reading something from Carmen’s Care Partner Corner that’ll hit home for care partners and anyone living with Parkinson’s.

⚠️ Important Note

This is my personal Parkinson's medication journey-what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson's is different for each person, and medication plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or treatment, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.

You know what Parkinson’s takes that hardly anyone warns you about? Your voice. One day you are talking normally, and the next day people are leaning in saying, “Sorry, can you repeat that?” Meanwhile, in your head, you feel like you are practically shouting.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I break down why Parkinson’s changes your voice, what is actually happening in the brain and body, and what you can do to fight back before it starts shutting you out of conversations and connection.

We talk about:
🗣️ Why Parkinson’s affects volume, clarity, and breath support
🧠 The science behind hypophonia and why you do not notice it yourself
🍔 Real-life moments that made me realize my voice was fading
🎤 What actually helps, including speech therapy, daily practice, and posture
📱 Tools and apps that can help you train your voice at home

This episode also includes Carmen’s Care Partner Corner, where Carmen shares what it is like on the other side of the conversation and how simple cues can reduce frustration and keep communication flowing.

Parkinson’s might make your voice softer, but it does not get to silence your story.

One of the hardest parts of living with Parkinson’s is not the symptoms you expect. It is the ones nobody warns you about. Skin that cannot decide if it is oily or flaky. Choking on a simple sip of water. Planning your entire day around bathroom access.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I open up about three hidden Parkinson’s symptoms that doctors often do not talk about enough, but that affect daily life in a big way.

We talk about:
🧴 Parkinson’s skin changes, including oiliness, flakes, and irritation
🥤 Swallowing problems and choking scares that can feel sudden and frightening
🚻 Urinary urgency and the constant need to plan ahead

For each symptom, I share what it looks like in real life, why it happens, and practical tips that can actually help right now. This episode also includes Carmen’s Care Partner Corner, where Carmen shares what these hidden symptoms look like from her side and why care partners need to speak up too.

These symptoms may be hidden, but they are real. And talking about them is the first step toward managing them without shame.

One of the hardest conversations with Parkinson’s is not about medication, symptoms, or exercise. It is about driving. When is it time to stop? How do you know when the risk is too high? Nobody ever gives you a clear answer.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share the five biggest warning signs that may signal it is time to give up the keys. I also open up about the changes I have personally noticed in my own driving and why this conversation matters more than pride ever will.

We talk about:
🚗 Slowed reaction times and hesitation
🧭 Coordination and depth perception issues
🧠 Getting lost or disoriented on familiar routes
⚠️ Close calls, curb clips, and small mistakes that add up
👀 What family and care partners often notice before we do

This episode also introduces a brand new segment, Carmen’s Care Partner Corner, where my wife and care partner shares honest advice on how to have the driving conversation with love, clarity, and courage.

This is a tough topic, but it is also an important one. Giving up the keys is not about losing independence. It is about protecting it.

When I was first diagnosed, I thought Parkinson’s medication would be simple. You take a pill, it helps, end of story. Fifteen years later, I learned it is anything but simple.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I walk you through my 15-year Parkinson’s medication journey. What I started on, what changed over time, and what I learned through every adjustment.

We cover:
💊 My very first prescription and how it evolved
🕰️ Why timing is everything and how one steak dinner nearly took me out
⚡ The side effects that surprised me most and how I managed them
💸 The cost factor nobody warned me about
📆 My updated 2025 medication schedule that reflects what is working for me today

I also share what I wish I had known earlier. Parkinson’s medication is not about perfection. It is about patience, flexibility, and constant adjustment. If you have ever felt frustrated trying to find the right balance, this episode will help you feel less alone.

You ever have that pain that just doesn’t make sense? One day it’s your back, the next it’s your calves — then your hands feel like somebody lit a match under your skin. That’s Parkinson’s pain — and here’s the kicker… nobody warned me about it.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I dive into the different types of Parkinson’s pain that most people never talk about — and what’s actually helped me manage it after nearly 15 years of living with the disease.

We’ll cover:

💢 Stiffness pain (the “duct tape” ache that won’t quit)

🦵 Joint pain from bad posture and rigidity

🌀 Dystonia pain (the muscle twisting that feels impossible)

⚡ Neuropathic pain — those burning, tingling shocks

💊 And even medication-related pain when your meds wear off

I also share real-life coping strategies — from pacing and micro-breaks to massage, heat/cold contrast, breathing resets, and adaptive tools that make daily life less painful.

Because while Parkinson’s pain is invisible to others, it’s very real to us. And the good news? There are ways to take back control.

You ever walk into a room and forget why you went there? Or open the fridge and stare at it like it’s going to give you the answer? That’s Parkinson’s brain fog — and if you know, you know.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share my five favorite brain fog hacks — simple, real-life tricks that help me stay sharp when my brain decides to take a coffee break.

We’ll cover:

🧠 How movement clears mental clutter (even when you don’t feel like it)

📋 Why shrinking your to-do list can boost productivity

⏰ The reminders, whiteboards, and 3-task rule that keep me on track

😴 The “power pause” trick that beats burnout without turning into a nap marathon

🎵 And the sensory sparks — music, scents, humor — that wake up your brain when nothing else works

Plus, I share bonus community hacks, like dancing in the kitchen, using sticky notes everywhere, and one hilarious story about finding a TV remote in the fridge (don’t ask).

Stick around for the end — there’s a Bryce-ism that might just change how you think about fog forever.
