My name is Jennifer Parkinson. I am 37 years old, an RN and a divorced mom of 2 kids, ages 6 and 9. I was diagnosed with young onset parkinson disease 5 years ago at age 32. When I was diagnosed, I had a tremor in my right hand, difficulty walking and dragging my right leg. I was extremely fatigued and my kids were 1 and 4. It was very challenging. About 2 years ago, I started boxing and kickboxing, and I noticed over time my symptoms began to improve and I was able to reduce my medications.
I am starting this blog as a resource guide for those of us living with Parkinson disease in the San Fernando Valley region and surrounding areas. I would like this to be a one stop guide for all PD events and information to help you get access to the resources you need.
If you have a Parkinson related event or link that you would like to add to this blog, just email me at jenyopd@yahoo.com
