Day2 journal
What we're learning as we build Day2 — from the research, from Ed's gym floor, and from Matt's own diagnosis. Written plainly, sourced properly.

Daily lifeYou must tell the DVLA when you're diagnosed, but most people keep their licence. Here's the form, the timeline and the likely outcome.

MoveThousands now wait over a year to see a neurologist. What I learned living with Parkinson's in the gap, including the exercise no one mentioned.
FoodLosing weight without trying is common in Parkinson's and rarely explained. What causes it, why the scales can mislead, and when to get it checked.
