I'm an Italian girl and I'm 25 year old. I was diagnosed with parkinson's only the last year but I suffer from tremors since I was 13 years old. The diagnosis was a real relief after all these years of pain, depression and wrong diagnoses. But now, I have to face the psychological consequences and it's very hard when there are no support groups in your city and there's so much stigma about young onset Parkinson's desease. Watching this video made me feel part of something.
Thanks.

I lost my father from PD after a long 18 year battle, I know what is like witnessing it, and how he ended up suffering during his last days with all sorts of horrific ailments, RIP dad, love you.

As a PD Warrior, I was very impressed with the personal stories and educational content of this documentary. It's very important the general public becomes aware of what Parkinson's IS and IS NOT. Show this video to EVERONE you know. SPREAD the word. Ignorance is NOT bliss!

Dr. Ray Dorsey is a very kind and generous doctor and human being. My sister has PD and I was looking for some advice. Dr. Dorsey gave me his time for free amidst his busy schedule. I am forever grateful. And now he produces this touching film. Thank you Dr. Dorsey for all you have done for the PD community. Much appreciated.

Excellent. So well done. Thanks to all who put this together especially the PD warriors willing to share their stories. Wish we could get this on prime time TV so the world would see it!

Thank u. My husband has just been diagnosed this gives hope to the new season in our lives

Great video! I agree...it's very important to get the word out. There are a lot of doctor's out there that aren't aware of the most common symptoms. I helped educate my doctor on the symptoms. Hopefully, this will bring about a quicker diagnosis for many that are suffering from PD symptoms.

I read the book "Ending Parkinson's Disease" last year. Thank you very much for the well-created video! Very encouraging! I would like my mother (PD patient) to know that she is the one to control Parkinson's disease rather than the disease controlling her!!!

What an amazing video! This should be required watching for all those with PD, care partners, family members and friends. Kudos for a job well-done!
