Life In Motion: The Parkinson's Podcast

Is It Parkinson’s… or Just Me?

Bryce Perry & Brian Campkin Season 1 Episode 8

In Episode 8 of Life in Motion: The Parkinson’s Podcast, Bryce and Brian dig into one of the most relatable questions people with Parkinson’s ask themselves almost daily: “Is this Parkinson’s… or just me?” From memory slips to stiffness, sleepless nights to sudden waves of exhaustion, they unpack the confusing overlap between normal aging, everyday life, and Parkinson’s symptoms.

This week also marks the debut of the Viewer Shaky or Fakey Showdown! Special guest Dee from West Virginia joins the podcast to take on Brian in a head-to-head trivia battle. (Spoiler: things get competitive, fast.)

You’ll hear about:

  • Everyday moments of “Is it Parkinson’s… or just me?”
  • Why some symptoms overlap with aging (and how to tell the difference)
  • Stories of memory slips, stiffness, fatigue, and brain fog
  • The importance of listening to your body and learning when to rest
  • A powerful, emotional story from Dee about her father’s Parkinson’s journey
  • The first-ever Viewer Shaky or Fakie Showdown (and how YOU can play next!)

You made it through another Life in Motion! That’s 20–30 minutes you could’ve spent folding laundry, Googling symptoms, or rearranging your pill bottles. Instead, you hung out with Bryce & Brian — friendship or questionable time management. Follow, review, and keep laughing.
