5 Things I Wish I’d Known Before Starting Parkinson’s Medication

Description

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.
