The more we normalize and bring awareness to taboo topics, the less taboo they become. This includes symptoms or challenges related to Parkinson's disease!

Today for taboo Tuesday, we're highlighting intimacy and PD. People commonly feel overwhelmed or too embarrassed to bring up this topic to their doctor. However, exploring new ways to connect and communicate — whether you have PD or you care for someone who has PD — will help strengthen your relationship. 🩵

Here are some suggestions for creating a deeper intimacy with your loved one. Find more at: Parkinson.org/Intimacy
