Have you ever thought, “Is this Parkinson’s… or is it just me?” You’re not alone.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I’m talking about the autonomic symptoms of Parkinson’s—the invisible, often overlooked issues that affect more than 80% of us. These aren’t the tremors or stiffness people expect. These are the ones that whisper: sudden blood pressure crashes, bladder urgency, constipation, unpredictable sweating, temperature swings, and even intimacy struggles that most of us don’t want to admit out loud.

I’ll share my own stories (including one where I had to fake a phone call just to cut in line for a restroom), practical tips that help, and the key questions you need to be asking your doctor.

Because Parkinson’s isn’t just about what people can see—it’s about the battles that happen in the background. And those matter just as much.

💬 Comment below: What symptoms surprised you the most? What helps you cope with them?

✨ Bryce-ism of the Episode “With Parkinson’s, it’s not always the visible symptoms that break you down—it’s the invisible ones that remind you just how strong you really are.”

I’ve had Parkinson’s for 15 years, and not once has my doctor told me what stage I’m in. And you know what? That might actually be a good thing.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I break down the five official stages of Parkinson’s and explain why most doctors don’t talk about them. We’ll dive into why these stages don’t always match what we actually live through, why progression isn’t linear, and why focusing on a number can do more harm than good.

I’ll also share a personal story from a conversation with my neurologist who told me: “I treat the person in front of me, not the stage they’re supposed to be in.” That perspective has shaped how I see this disease.

Instead of chasing stages, I’ll talk about the real questions that matter: Are my meds still working? What’s getting harder lately? What can I still do on my own?

Stick around—this one will challenge how you think about Parkinson’s.

💬 Have you ever been told what stage you’re in? Did it help or just confuse you? Drop a YES or NO in the comments, and let’s get a conversation started.

✨ Bryce-ism of the Episode “With Parkinson’s, stages might try to define you, but your spirit doesn’t have to follow the script.”

When Ozzy Osbourne said, "I’m not dying from Parkinson’s, I’ve been working with it most of my life," he revealed something that completely shifted how I think about this disease.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I explore Ozzy’s incredible 16-year journey of living with symptoms before his official diagnosis — and what it teaches us about the hidden years so many of us face.

From the rare PRKN2 genetic variant he carried, to the love and loyalty of his wife Sharon, to his defiant final performance on a bat-themed throne just 17 days before his passing — this is both a tribute and a deep dive into resilience, hope, and the power of showing up.
