If you want to know more about Parkinson's, or how to cope with chronic illness, then this is the Podcast for you. Between them Clarky and Kuhan have been living with Parkinson’s for more than 20 years. They chat openly and honestly about the challenges and even the benefits of living with the condition.
In this episode of 2 Parkies in a Pod, we’re talking about one of the most frustrating and sometimes confusing parts of living with Parkinson’s - ON and OFF periods.
What does it actually mean to be “ON”? What does being “OFF” feel like? And why can Parkinson’s symptoms sometimes seem to change throughout the day?
We’re joined by Professor Camille Carroll, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at Newcastle University, whose work focuses on Parkinson’s, personalised care, digital monitoring and motor fluctuations, including “wearing-off.”
Please remember that the podcast is not a substitute for individual medical advice. If you’re experiencing changes in your Parkinson’s symptoms or medication response, speak to your Parkinson’s team or healthcare professional.

Family Ties
Having witnessed her younger brother being diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of just 20, Anne had seen Parkinson’s first hand - but in a cruel twist of fate she was herself diagnosed more than 30 years later. How they have both dealt with their diagnosis is a truly inspiring story.
Listen in for a powerful conversation about family, resilience, exercise, friendship and finding a positive way forward with Parkinson’s.

I don’t have Parkinson’s after all
What happens when you’re told you have Parkinson’s — and years later, you’re told you don’t?
Mike Bells talks about the first signs, how the diagnosis affected both him and those around him, and the impact the Parkinson’s medication had. Then came the shock.. Mike was de-diagnosed almost a decade later.
Mike opens up about what it felt like to discover the news and what life looks like now.
Plus, Dave hits 60… and Kuhan gets back behind the wheel!
