Sigh!
The World Parkinson Congress is over! And now we’ve scattered to more than 60 countries around the world – all 4,500 of us.
Parky and I blogged a lot about the Congress before, during, and after. Here are our blog posts by category:
Parkinson’s Disease / Academic and Other Sessions
- Questions for the World Parkinson Congress! – These are research questions I came up with before the conference, with additional questions from other PwP’s via the Facebook WPC Buddies Page. I’m still searching for answers to many of these questions…Kyoto, here I come!
- What’s It Like Having Parkinson’s Disease? Update! – Other WPC Official Bloggers and I prepared this list of simulation activities over a year ago. This updated version includes additional suggestions from the 6000 people who viewed the original list.
- Opening Ceremony @ World Parkinson Congress! – What a terrific opening ceremony!
- My Notes from the James Parkinson’s Special Lecture on Levodopa – Sinemet – it’s here for another 50 years, although scientists should come up with better delivery systems.
- My Main Take-Aways from the Friday Session on “Exercise as Treatment” – You can select certain exercises to work on specific symptoms. This includes repairing the damaged parts of your brain.
- Living Well with Parkinson’s: Linda Olson’s Story – Of all the amazing and inspiring people I met or listened to at the Congress, Linda Olson tops the list. Although the top of the list is quite crowded, actually.
Convention Environs, Including Artwork and People
- Cloudy Thursday Morning. Where are the Parking Suns? – You only have to look!

- Sunny Sundays – WPC Edition! – My weekly music selection about the sun, this time featuring my WPC Buddy, Geoffrey Webb.
