Beyond the Tremor: A Full Body Revolt

Welcome to Not Just Shaking

I’m Lee — diagnosed with Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease, a day trader, a Brit in Tennessee, and the very proud human of a service dog named Purple. This is an honest, unfiltered account of life with Parkinson’s: the non-motor chaos, the small wins, the caregiver reality, and the stuff nobody puts in the brochure.

    Purple, Lee's Parkinson's service dog, resting at home

    Hi, I’m Lee. Four years ago I received my Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis, and I thought Parkinson’s meant one thing: a shaking hand. Turns out it’s a full-body conspiracy. I’m a self-taught day trader, a British expat living in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, and the very proud human of a service dog named Purple, who helps me manage my symptoms daily. This blog exists because the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s deserve a platform — and because writing is cheaper than therapy.
