WHAT EVEN IS THIS?

Hi. I'm Patrick.
Parkinson's showed up early.

Patrick With Parkinson's. PWP. Yes, that's a play on person with Parkinson's. That's the joke. There's no bigger marketing strategy.

I write about young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD): the weird timing, daily inconveniences, bigger problems, and things nobody warned me about. Some posts are funny. Some aren't. Both are allowed.

This isn't a medical advice site or a relentless positivity campaign. It's my perspective, my experiences, and whatever I happen to be thinking about. If it helps somebody feel less alone or understand YOPD a bit better, that's a bonus.

Why be normal?

The less polite version: Fuck Parkinson's. Both sentiments can coexist.
