Your friendly guide

Firstly, welcome

A place where I, Emma, explore what it means to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at 42 years old.

When I say explore, I mean there is a fair bit of ranting, swearing and general what-the-fuckery?! As a woman, mother, writer and artist I share my experiences of managing a degenerative disease where no day is the same and I can’t even put my socks on.

Thankfully, there is wine.

And did I mention swearing?

And, most importantly, you - my dearest and incredibly supportive readers.

I also run the Parkinson’s directory Handshake:

If you are new here may I suggest the following?

Enjoy some of my readers’ favourite posts:

• Death of Identity

• On the Wrong Path-ogen

• Girls Just Wanna Have Funds

Listen to me on my mini-podcast.

• Dopamine Theft

If you really, really like what you see consider becoming a paid subscriber to support my wine habit and encourage me to write more! Also, there is a free ebook and my mini-podcast.

Thank you!!

Who is Emma?

Writer, artist, wine drinker, and owner of a disease called Parkinson’s. Mother of two daughters, carer of a neurotic border collie (rescue), and partner to a very patient man.
