Dealing and Healing with Parkinson's Disease by author Karl Robb
The most beneficial action that you can make in your life is to take charge and get as healthy as you can.
Once again, it’s World Parkinson’s Day! How are you going to educate and increase awareness of Parkinson’s Disease today?
Karl Robb and Angela Robb interview Dr. Ray Dorsey, who is a Parkinson’s Disease neurologist, researcher, and author. Dr. Dorsey is the David M. Levy Professor of Neurology and Director of the Center for Health + Technology at the University of Rochester Medical Center and co-author of the book Ending Parkinson’s Disease: A Prescription for Action.
February 23, 2021 marked the 30th anniversary of my official diagnosis for having Young Onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD).
Angela and I were fortunate to have the opportunity to be virtual hosts to Polly Dawkins, Executive Director, of the Davis Phinney Foundation for a webinar organized by the Parkinson Social Network (PSN). Polly’s presentation is titled Building Your Parkinson’s Virtual Wellness Plan.
Self-care is a topic that I talk about quite a bit, on this blog. During these changing times, it can be easy to forget wellness tools and tips that we have in our toolbox.
I asked Dr. Dorsey what his thoughts were on the rapid burst of telehealth popularity. His remarks were, that if you like using telemedicine for physician visits, to tell your representatives, so that we can keep this most beneficial technology.
During these uncertain times, now seemed the right time to share with you some words that might be of help. As we all are at home during this outbreak, I know I’m thinking about and discovering how to get back to a routine that I can keep.

It’s a new year and the thought of those resolutions on the club napkin are but distant memories. Seriously, resolutions can be wonderful intentions yet only to create a burden that wasn’t the intention in the first place.
