Michael J. Fox, Henrik Lundqvist Talk Parkinson’s Disease and Community

FoxFeed Blog

Posted by Nancy Ryerson, April 08, 2015

Michael J. Fox appeared on The Mask, hosted by New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, on March 21. In addition to hockey, the two talked about Michael's work with the Foundation and his journey since being diagnosed with Parkinson's.

Like most, Michael said that he was worried when he first received his diagnosis. "What was cool that happened was that I found out I was part of a community," he says. "Seeing people tell their stories online, saying I relate to that, I know that, I'm not alone in that."

Many in the Foundation's community share the same sentiment, whether they connect with others in a support group, online on social networks or through personal blogs. Guest blogger Natasha McCarthy, for example, didn't know anyone with Young-onset Parkinson's disease, but through her blog, she's been in touch with many other young parents with Parkinson's who relate to her experiences.

Connecting with the PD community online is also a powerful way to learn about resources and disease management. Guest blogger Bev Ribaudo shared her technique for charting her Parkinson's symptoms, and many on social media commented that they started their own charts.
