Poor balance. Falling. Twisted joints and pain. The sense of vulnerability + fear of falling can knock your confidence 10 fold. But people just see the freezing gait, a trip, hear a sluuurr and ask you to say it again. But if I stay at home, I am safe, I can sing. FU #parkinsons

A new role but still here! After 13 years hosting CBC New Brunswick supper hour news, it's time to hand the baton to colleague Rachel Cave. Parkinson's is tightening its grip on my voice, but as long as I can talk I'll continue to tell stories and be part of CBC News in NB.

The 20th episode of the #parkinsons podcast 2 Parkies in a Pod is out now. Hear from Harry Forestell about coming out, being awake through DBS and interviewing MJF. It’s a great listen. Catch up on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or click here 🎧👉🏼 2parkiesinapod.com

A true Canadian troubadour. I had the pleasure of introducing my wife Jenny to Mr Lightfoot when he performed at the Imperial Theatre in Saint John. A real gentleman and a great musician.

'To feel my body beginning to slow and become more mechanically difficult to manage was hard to take. Parkinson's is an insidious disease,' Harry Forestell told Matt Galloway in a conversation today about his diagnosis and treatment cbc.ca/1.6752210

Harry Forestell Hi I had the same. Surgery at western hospital
Has been a long journey but OMG I was diagnosed in Oct 2013 and now I just pray for the Dr and all the staff
to be blessed after the surgery, I born again
I was really bad the tremors and the side effects were bad
Thanks

This is what #dbs gave me and it gets better, even after 4 years since my surgery. I’m surprised by it a lot, it’s a gift from the #nhs . It’s not a cure but a reprieve from #parkinsons after 12 yea res. Keep pushing and keep trying. U never know

Morning Dave Clark hope you are keeping well, I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I’m raising money for Parkinson's UK , Is there any chance you could help me raise as much awareness as I can by giving this a RT ? Thank you
