Positive Moments with Parkinson's

In this episode, we talk with Larry L.inton from Toronto Canada. In his story about Parkinson's he talks about: His initial diagnosis of Young Onset Parkinson's disease and the 5 stages of grief that he went through. The "double life" he was leading in his corporate life and what he did to overcome the challenges. How Parkinson's not only affected him, but his family as well and what they were able to take away from it. How he was able to "forge a deeper relationship" with his family and how they were positively impacted. What live, person to person Parkinson's support groups are and what they would have given him had he gone earlier. How he dealt differently with a second diagnosis that came after PD and the skill set he gained from dealing with PD.
