This morning I had a good laugh after venting in my mind about PD studies. Each morning as I have my coffee, I review the dozens of sites that share the latest information and studies about PD. Some are fascinating and I want to dive in and learn more. Then there are other days, they must be my grumpy mornings, I read the headlines and I want to scream, “who cares if people with blue hair, are ambidextrous, and speak three languages are potentially more likely to get PD, find a cure!”. Now, that’s not the real headline, and my apologies if you fit all three categories, but that’s what it feels like when I see studies that I’m sure have sounds reasons for being conducted, but my meager brain doesn’t understand them. But I’m calm now and here are a few of my favorite articles around the web on Parkinson’s recently. Enjoy your weekend. 💖
