Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhen most people think about Parkinson’s they think of tremors and Michael J. Fox, but there’s a lot more to this disease. And some Parkinson’s symptoms are just plain weird. I recently got the chance to talk with Fred Zalonis, a 73 year old retired engineer who was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s 15 years ago. In today's episode, Fred and I compare notes on the hallucinations we have experienced since developing Parkinson's, and I dig into the science of hallucinations with Ramona Weil, Parkinson's researcher and Professor of Neurology at University College London.
