The PD Narrative Project

This project looks at stories about, and by, people with Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis from the patient's perspective: from the brain scan image at the moment of diagnosis to the scramble for information in books, websites, and blogs, to the unbidden images in film and TV.

Web videos are produced by The PD/MS Narrative Project, an award-winning collective of Ohio University students, faculty, and people with PD. Using the theoretical approaches of Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari, and Michael Polanyi, Nelson maps out the overlapping areas of MEdical Discourse, MEdia Discourse, and what she calls MExperience (the intersection of all 3).

A group of 80 Physical Therapy students at Ohio University called it, "the best (or worst) thing to happen to PD since Michael J. Fox!" Another student wrote: "This is a message I'll take with me after graduation: you can do anything. It's so honest and inspiring!" From a media professional: "I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. It blew me away."
