What is it like to live with Parkinson's?
What is it like to live with Parkinson's?
For World Parkinson's Day 2022, over 300 people affected by Parkinson's told us in a limerick or five line poem.
In early 2022, Parkinson's UK asked everyone connected with Parkinson's to write about their experience to help raise awareness on World Parkinson's Day, 11 April.
The response has been phenominal.
Whether you have Parkinson's, are a relative of someone who does, or work or volunteer with people affected by Parkinson's, we heard about your experience of Parkinson's.
The limericks and poems are so varied - happy and sad, positive and expressing some of the challenges of living with Parkinson's. From symptoms to hobbies, treatments, how Parkinson's impacts you, connecting with others with the condition and so much more...
Whether first-time poets or experienced bards, people living or working with Parkinson's got creative and the results are brilliant.
