Hello, I’ve not visited here in a while.

Is there still an engaged Parkinson’s / #YOPD community on BlueSky?
November 12, 2025 at 5:52 PM
Looking forward to joining the first of these #YOPD teabreaks (YOPTea?!) tomorrow morning with @parkinsons.org.uk.

Details on the link below if you want to get involved or join the mailing list.

Maybe see some of you there.

Half of life with #Parkinsons is undoing the full stops from accidentally double tapping the space bar.

"I am blessed to still lead a wonderful active life filled with family and friends and work and travel and so, so much hope.

"I have #Parkinsons. But, by God, it doesn’t have me."

I'm about nine months late with this, but I just did my first PD Warrior workout. Surprisingly difficult, but definitely targeted the right areas.

Does anyone else use this program regularly?

Happy #WorldParkinsonsDay to those who participate in it.

Hope everyone on here finds some joy or comfort in it at some point.

It’s my first. Here’s what I’ll be doing and trying to figure out today.

Relatable content.

It remains unclear if people with PD usually suffer from one single type of sleep problem, or from multiple sleep problems at the same time.

A new study systematically evaluated sleep issues in people with early-stage Parkinson's. Learn more: Parkinson.org/blog/science-news/sleep-disorders
Study Shows Multiple Sleep Problems Are Common in Early Parkinson's
Research shows that sleep problems are common in early Parkinson’s stages and can get worse as the disease progresses.

Parkinson's, in my opinion, is the most complex disease in clinical medicine. Though it is nice to see these evidence-based reviews, we should keep our eye on the 'ball.' The ball is dynamic, and in Parkinson's will fluctuate over time, and especially with disease progression. Listen to the person.

World #Parkinsons Day - April 11 - is just over a month away.

I’m interested in how people mark it, it at all.

- What are your plans or ideas?
- Is there something you do every year?
- Does the day carry any meaning or significance to you?

Two new accounts to be aware of on here:

- @cureparkinsons.org.uk
- @rcnneuro.bsky.social

I've added both to my #PDcommunity list, which you can pin for easy access --> bsky.app/profile/did:...

Sending my first post from @surf.social! I’ve been excited to try this out and learn more about the potential of the fediverse.

(I appreciate this reads like a hacked post / as though I’m typing this at gunpoint)

For the first time in too long, I'm sitting down to write again.

It feels good.

Question for fellow Parkys, I know movement is medicine and high-intensity exercise makes us all feel a bit better, but does anyone else find their symptoms (shaking/imbalance etc) are more pronounced while actually doing it?

Being on Bluesky has (mostly) been a breath of fresh air these last few months.

Good read here on why the success or otherwise of this platform is almost a test case for sustainable social networking in the future.
