Living with Parkinson's for over Thirty Years!

My name is Karl Robb. I have been blogging on Parkinson’s disease for over 10 years on my site, asoftvoice.com. I have guest blogged for numerous other Parkinson’s sites, lectured and written a book and co-authored a workbook with my wife, best friend, and care partner, Angela Robb. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s when I was 23, but I was showing symptoms by age 17 (I am now close to 51 years old). It took me at least 9 doctors and 6 years for me to receive the diagnosis and the start of medical treatment to improve and to deal with the revelation of my condition.

Parkinson’s disease may have slowed me a little but I continue to write, work on photography and drawing, practice or teach reiki as a reiki master, perform magic for friends, travel with my wife and dog, and meet with support groups across the country about living well with Parkinson’s disease.
