This blog is an ongoing chronicle of the trials, tribulations, triumphs, tragedies and tears of a life with young-onset Parkinson’s disease. The author, Corey King, was diagnosed with PD at the age of 47, but had been experiencing Parkinson’s symptoms for years without knowing what they were.
This is just one story among millions, but hopefully it will help highlight the reasons that a cure is so desperately needed for this heartbreaking disease. Your comments and observations about life with PD or other chronic diseases, living with and responding to adversity, caregiving and care-receiving, fundraising for research, or any other relevant subject are welcomed.
This blog is dedicated to the families of PWPs around the world who have received a visit from this unwelcome stranger that won’t go home, beginning with my own family.

Dear Corey,
I’ve only read a few of your blog postings after stumbling on your blog today but must say I cried good tears of laughter because I so love a good sense of humor and you certainly have one. I am 62-years young and cared for my husband until he died from complications from Parkinson’s. (funny how if the brain no longer tells you how to swallow your life ends shortly thereafter) The only thing that kept me sane was my love for him, my faith in God, my family and my Parkinson’s support group but above all… my sense of humor. God bless you, you are loved by many and please never lose your humor!
