Twitchy Woman: My Adventures with Parkinson's

About Sharon Krischer

Sharon in Antarctica

Sharon Krischer was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2009. She has since become an advocate for men and women affected by the disease to find a way to move on.

Sharon uses daily exercise as a key component for her to live well with Parkinson’s.  She plays tennis (badly), ping pong, attends yoga and boxing classes and travels around the world. 

Sharon lives in Beverly Hills, CA with her very supportive husband, Joel. They have three daughters and four grandchildren.

Clinical Trials Corner

SEPTEMBER 2025

I’ve been hesitant to feature new clinical trials as a few that I had on my list to include in future columns have either been removed from the site or marked as withdrawn. Keeping my fingers crossed that the trials I feature continue to recruit and maintain their funding. Click here for the rest of the report from Jen

Thank You!

All Twitchy Women programs are free to all who participate. However, they are not without cost. It takes resources to continue our work and we cannot do it without your help. Through our partnership with the Parkinson’s Wellness Fund, those who want to provide support can do so. Thank you to all of you who have contributed. It is really appreciated.
