Living with Parkinson’s | Bryce Perry6 Aug 2025

Your Parkinson’s Questions—Answered Honestly and Hilariously

In this special Q&A episode, Bryce tackles your biggest questions about living with Parkinson’s—from medications to morning struggles to the infamous “Did you take your meds?” debate with loved ones. With his signature blend of honesty and humor, Bryce breaks down the difference between levodopa and pramipexole, shares what finally helped him through depression, and reveals the code word he and his wife use to communicate without conflict.

You’ll also hear hilarious travel tips, like how many pill bottles it takes to set off airport security—and why Bryce carries a neurologist’s letter just in case. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, many years in, or supporting someone with Parkinson’s, this episode is packed with practical advice and relatable laughs.

🎧 Bryce-ism of the Episode:

“Sometimes ‘Did you take your meds?’ really means ‘I love you and I’m scared’—but I still reserve the right to roll my eyes.”

⚠️ Important Note

This is my personal Parkinson’s medication journey—what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson’s is different for each person, and medication plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or treatment, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.
