You have early onset Parkinson’s

About Traci Caldwell

Hi! I’m Traci and also a 42 year old wife, mother and nana.

I got the diagnosis of early onset Parkinson’s in 2019. My journey is unique and far from over.

I enjoy family time, the outdoors and reading.

My faith is strong and has brought me this far so always keep the faith!

That was the sentence I was told in 2019 after having uncontrollable movements, dystonia in my face and neck and seizures that were disabling.

I refused to give up, kept my faith strong and now 7 years later, I no longer have seizures and doing well on carbidopa levodopa.

I believe what we go through in life makes us stronger and not to take things for granted. I’ve met many wonderful people along this journey. I’m not sure what the future looks like but faith has brought me this far and it will see me through.
