Young Onset Parkinsons is different from PD in many ways, and one of them is that many people who get Parkinsons early on still have young kids at home. Parenting in itself is difficult enough if you ask me. Add tremor, fatigue, fluctuations, bradykinesia, insomnia, an ambitious workout schedule and uncertainty about the future to the equation and you might find it overwhelming at times. On the other hand; being responsible for the wellbeing of these awesome little people forces you to be ok, to keep fighting, to stay focused and positive. The thought of becoming a burden to my kids is hard but also something I try not to think about. Instead I try to live in the moment with them, encourage them to be independent and confident, teach them as much as I can and make the most of the good days. 💕 I would love to write lots more about this but I am too tired 🥴😜
