Last time, I shared my three most embarrassing Parkinson’s symptoms — and wow, the comments went wild. You all had plenty to say… and this episode is dedicated to you.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I’m sharing the three most embarrassing symptoms according to the Doing Life Today community:
💧 Drooling — what I call the Niagara Falls surprise
💃 Dyskinesia — those involuntary “Parkinson’s dance” movements that show up uninvited
🚽 Bathroom emergencies — the one nobody wants to talk about but nearly everyone faces at some point

I’ll share my own experiences, your community tips, and practical ways to manage the embarrassment — from planning ahead to working with your doctor to finding humor when you can.

Because here’s the truth: Parkinson’s can be messy, unpredictable, and yes, embarrassing… but it doesn’t have to stop you from showing up and living your life.

Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“With Parkinson’s, embarrassment will show up whether you invite it or not. The trick is learning how to keep showing up anyway.”

⚠️ Important Note
This is my personal Parkinson’s journey—what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson’s is different for each person, and treatment plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or care, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.

Have you ever had someone without Parkinson’s act like you’re exaggerating, even when you’re struggling just to get through the day? Yeah — me too.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share the Five things people without Parkinson’s will never truly understand. From invisible battles to exhaustion that hits like gravity’s been turned up, we’re diving deep into the daily realities most people never see:

1️⃣ The invisible fight happening inside your body
2️⃣ How simple tasks can feel like Olympic events
3️⃣ The mental energy it takes just to move
4️⃣ Why good days don’t mean you’re “better”
5️⃣ And the hidden calculations behind every social moment

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or minimized, this one’s for you. And stay until the end for a Bryce-ism that reframes strength in a way that’ll stick with you.

💬 Which one of these five hit you the hardest? Drop it in the comments — I read and reply to every one.

Shaking, stiffness, tremors — everyone talks about those. But what about the strange Parkinson’s symptoms that don’t make it into any textbook?

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share the unexpected symptoms that caught me off guard, including:
❄️ Temperature changes in my hands and feet
👀 Double vision that makes emails look like a magic eye poster
🔊 Losing my voice volume without realizing it
💧 Drooling (yep, the Niagara Falls surprise)
⚡ And the muscle cramps that hit me so hard I had to grip a podium mid-talk

These are the real, unpolished stories from 15 years of living with Parkinson’s. And more importantly, I share the strategies that actually help — from speech therapy to stretch breaks — so you can be prepared when the unexpected shows up.

Stick around to the end for a Bryce-ism that reframes how to handle the symptoms you never saw coming.

If I could go back 15 years and hand myself a cheat sheet for Parkinson’s medication, I would’ve saved myself a lot of frustration (and a few awkward dinners).

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share the five things I wish I’d known before taking my first pill — lessons I had to learn the hard way:
1️⃣ Timing is everything (and protein can mess with absorption).
2️⃣ Side effects can sneak up on you.
3️⃣ Doses change over time — and that’s not failure.
4️⃣ Communication with your doctor is key.
5️⃣ The mental adjustment matters just as much as the physical.

These aren’t just medical notes — they’re real-life insights from 15 years of living with Parkinson’s. And stick around to the end, because I share a Bryce-ism that reframes how I see my meds on the good days, the bad days, and the in-between.

Some Parkinson’s symptoms are inconvenient. Others are downright embarrassing — especially when they happen in public.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share the three symptoms that embarrass me the most:

😶 Facial masking (when your face doesn’t match how you feel)

⚡ Losing the ability to multitask (like buttering the remote instead of the toast)

🧠 Forgetfulness (names, words, or even why you walked into a room

But embarrassment doesn’t have to control the story. I talk about how I’ve learned to handle these moments with honesty, humor, and practical strategies — so they don’t ruin my day.

Stick around to the end for a Bryce-ism that reframes embarrassment in a way that just might make you smile.

Have you ever tried to explain Parkinson’s fatigue, only to get the same blank stare you’d get if you said you were tired from binge-watching Netflix?

This episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality is all about giving you the words, analogies, and one-liners to help your friends and family actually get it.

Because Parkinson’s fatigue isn’t just being tired. It’s like living with a phone battery that never charges past 30%… or running on a gas tank that starts half empty. It’s mental as much as it is physical — and no nap or “good night’s sleep” is going to fix it.

I’ll walk you through the myths to bust, the things not to say, and simple scripts that make the invisible visible. Plus, you’ll unlock a Bryce-ism at the end that sums up fatigue in a single line that might just save you a long explanation.

If you’ve ever wished people could understand what you’re really going through, this one’s for you.

🚨 If you’re newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s and wondering “Now what?” — I’ve got you covered.

There’s tired… and then there’s Parkinson’s tired.If you’ve ever wondered why you feel completely drained before the day even starts, this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality is for you. I share what Parkinson’s fatigue really feels like, how it’s different from just being sleepy, and why it can hit at any time — even when meds are timed perfectly.

From nodding off at a red light to falling asleep mid-haircut, I get real about what this exhaustion looks like, how I’ve learned to plan around it, and the one mindset shift that changed everything: stop apologizing for needing rest.

I’ll also walk through practical strategies — planning your day around on-times, building in recovery, saying no more often, and tracking patterns — plus, you’ll unlock a Bryce-ism at the end that might just reframe how you see your own fatigue.

So if you’ve ever felt like you’re dragging an invisible anchor through your day, you’re not lazy, and you’re not alone.

They told me Parkinson’s would affect my movement. What they didn’t say was how much it would hijack my mind.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I open up about one of the most invisible and misunderstood symptoms of Parkinson’s: anxiety.

This isn’t just stress or “worrying too much.” Anxiety in Parkinson’s is rooted in brain chemistry, and it can hit out of nowhere — racing heart, spiraling thoughts, a body that feels stuck even when my tremors are calm.

I share how anxiety shows up for me, how it’s connected to off times, and the tools I’ve learned to manage it — from tracking symptoms, to breathing exercises, to yes… even peanut M&Ms. Most importantly, I talk about the real game-changer: knowing you’re not alone.

If you’ve ever felt the hidden weight of anxiety with Parkinson’s, this conversation is for you.
