"For several years before my diagnosis, my wife couldn't figure out why my clothes smelled musty, like laundry left in the washing machine overnight.

📣 Join us for a live AMA, September 21–24. 🗓️

Love, relationships, and YOPD — let's talk about it. 💜

We're teaming up with PMD Alliance for a live Ask Me Anything in our forums, and this one is all about marriage, dating, and navigating relationships while living with young-onset Parkinson's disease.

Joining the conversation are Melissa Livingston, Sarah Possenti, and Joseph Possenti — people who truly get what this experience looks like up close.

Whether you're wondering how to have the hard conversations, keep connection alive, or approach dating with a diagnosis, this is your space to ask. 🫶

Drop your question in the comments, head to the Forum to submit it there, and register to join us live September 21–24. ✅
