    Just like Brian, I had to come out right away due to slurred speech. I was pretty open and in some cases too open. I found that I had some friends that were uncomfortable having the discussion. The toughest though was trying to explain to my deaf 89 year old father who never did understand what I was talking about. Love your work.

      It's never an easy conversation. For either side. Take care! Thanks for watching.

    Thank you so much. Will be able to work on my communication after seeing this video. I joined a Parkinson’s support group . my first meeting is next Wednesday. I’m a little nervous but hope that they will help me come to a better understanding

      I hope you enjoy your meeting! I always felt that meeting with groups like that helped me understand more and feel like I'm not alone.

    I say it's a good thing to stay friendly with the town gossip. Then when you need to tell scores of people that you have a Parkinson's dx, but you don't want to talk to scores of people, just tell the town gossip. Job done.
    My own Parkinson's dx is recent. Obviously, I intend to handle this with humor.
