  • Pain

Severe discomfort of a physical such as occurs when accidentally whacking one’s thumb with a hammer or may be purely mental, caused by the good fortune of another.

A persistent companion.

  • Parky, Parkie

Cute inclusive names we give ourselves to indicate we are part of an exclusive club. Despite already being part of an exclusive club: People with Parkinson’s Disease.

  • Psychosis

Psychosis is common in Parkinson's disease. The symptoms range from minor illusions, vivid dreams, and occasional, non-disturbing visual hallucinations to frank psychosis.

Largely indistinguishable from most normal life.

  • Pin Rolling

The motion made by the finger when suffering from a PD-induced tremor.

Shaken not…

  • Postural Instability

The inability to maintain equilibrium under dynamic and static conditions such as preparation of movements, perturbations, and quiet stance.

Frequently results in the face on the floor.

  • Power Nap

A snooze in the middle of the day whereby you awake disorientated and foggy. You are left as ineffective as you were pre-nap.
