Living with Parkinson’s | Bryce Perry
The Good, the Bad, and the Reality – Your Source of Strength, Hope, and Support.
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010 at age 40, Bryce Perry has spent over 15 years navigating the daily challenges, unexpected changes, and surprising lessons that come with living with a progressive disease. Through it all, he’s found purpose, perspective — and plenty of humor.
Living with Parkinson’s is a real, raw, and often surprisingly funny podcast that explores what life is truly like with Parkinson’s. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, deep into your journey, or supporting someone who is, this show delivers honest stories, practical advice, and a healthy dose of encouragement.
From medication and mindset to relationships, work, identity, and adapting to constant change, Bryce dives into the good, the bad, and — most importantly — the reality of life with Parkinson’s. It’s a podcast built on truth, resilience, and the belief that you can still live fully, even when life looks different than expected.

“I laughed out loud… and then cried. This is exactly what I needed today.”
“Bryce says what we’re all thinking but don’t always have the words for.”

The Hidden Parkinson’s Pain Nobody Talks About
You ever have that pain that just doesn’t make sense? One day it’s your back, the next it’s your calves — then your hands feel like somebody lit a match under your skin. That’s Parkinson’s pain — and here’s the kicker… nobody warned me about it.
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I dive into the different types of Parkinson’s pain that most people never talk about — and what’s actually helped me manage it after nearly 15 years of living with the disease.
We’ll cover:
💢 Stiffness pain (the “duct tape” ache that won’t quit)
🦵 Joint pain from bad posture and rigidity
🌀 Dystonia pain (the muscle twisting that feels impossible)
⚡ Neuropathic pain — those burning, tingling shocks
💊 And even medication-related pain when your meds wear off
I also share real-life coping strategies — from pacing and micro-breaks to massage, heat/cold contrast, breathing resets, and adaptive tools that make daily life less painful.
Because while Parkinson’s pain is invisible to others, it’s very real to us. And the good news? There are ways to take back control.

Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“With Parkinson’s, pain doesn’t mean you’re weak — it means your body’s fighting harder than most people will ever know.”
⚠️ Important Note
This is my personal Parkinson’s journey—what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson’s is different for each person, and treatment plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or care, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.
