The number of Parkinson’s Disease bloggers has grown exponentially since I was diagnosed in 2009. At the time, I could only find two – now there are over 200 that we know of and more popping up frequently.

In no particular order, here are some of the better blogs that I have found:

Parkinson’s Diva by Maria de Leon, M.D.
