I. Am. Crying. The loneliness of Parkinson’s—even when around tons of people. That feeling of loss, of losing who you were to a capricious dopamine disappearing act. I know I should be stronger but …….. There is always that “but.” I always say that I don’t mind playing a game I might lose but I hate playing a game I’ve already lost. Fuck Parkinson’s, Karen. This piece matters.
I sometimes feel I am running in concrete boots, but I try anyway. This beast is hard to be kept on track. Don't tell me there is something positive, except the people we find in our way...
You are so awesome! It's important to acknowledge your feelings of grief and loss. You do that beautifully while continuing to move -- or run -- forward. Thank you for your inspiration!

Once again, you punched me in the gut by laying bare the feelings that so many of us know so well. Bravo.

Once again, you've brought me into your world and made me feel and understand what I didn't a few minutes ago. Thank you.
Thank you for writing that beautiful post and for your support!
I cannot wait for your book. 💜
