Hiding the shake: Catriona Kinnevey on young early onset Parkinson's

For nine years, Catriona Kinnevey had an explanation for everything. The tremor in her left hand was the gym. The stiff shoulder was too many weights. The shake was anxiety, PMS, maybe an essential tremor. At 39, she finally heard the words: "I see Parkinson's."In this episode of IMAGE The Check-in, Leonie Corcoran is joined by Catriona, a mum of two, a marketer, a board member of Parkinson's Ireland and the voice behind @parkinsonsgirly, for a raw, warm and often funny conversation about living with young onset Parkinson's.Catriona shares how she hid her symptoms for years while building a career, becoming a mother and living her life. She talks about being told again and again that she was "just stressed", the heartbreak of IVF, a late-night phone call from her brother that changed everything and the kind neurologist who told her to "park the Parkinson's" and have her second baby.Please note: this episode includes discussion of IVF, fertility struggles and an early pregnancy loss. Please listen with care, and at a time that feels right for you.IMAGE The Check-in is part of IMAGE Women's Health Clinic and is proudly empowered by Boots and in partnership with Samsung.

Hosted by Leonie Corcoran. Recorded in Living Room Dublin.
