What this episode covers

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. It occurs when nerve cells in the brain (specifically those responsible for producing dopamine) die or are damaged. Ciara O’Connell is 48 years of age and has been living with the condition for over 13 years. Ciara tells Adrianne about her diagnosis, her symptoms, the medication available and the DBS or Deep Brain Stimulation surgery she has had that has changed her life. She also talks about the supports that are available to both the person with Parkinson's and their families/carers. These supports are provided by the charitable organisation Parkinson's Galway-Roscommon that is run by amazing volunteers like Caroline Rushe. Adrianne also speaks with Caroline about these services i.e. physiotherapy and peer support groups etc. For information, or to become a member please call Caroline on 086 2566655 or Marie on 087 7783825.

His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Frag Big Moes Mama 98.8 KISS FM Big Moes Mama ist genauso crazy wie ihr Sohn und ab sofort part of the podcast family!
