    Not every bladder symptom is Parkinson’s.

    And sometimes, that assumption can cause us to miss something important.

    In this episode of Pearls for Parkinson’s, we talk about:

    • When bladder changes are expected in Parkinson’s
    • When something might be different
    • And why it’s important to take a closer look

    Listen in to better understand what your body may be telling you - and when it’s time to speak up.

    Has this episode helped to shed light on what you're experiencing? We love hearing from you!

    It’s about timing.

    Take a few minutes to listen - you may pick up one small change that makes a big difference.
