This chapter details a painful period of hiding the author’s illness from others, meaning before he shared his diagnosis publicly. The author recounts the experience of a strange phone call that a physician’s office in Houston made to his parents in North Carolina looking for him, which led to him lying to his mother about his health status. The author also reflects on his discomfort in a work meeting as he sat beside a colleague who is a neurologist, assuming that he could tell that the author had Parkinson’s. He also shares the experience of affiliating with a movement disorder clinic at Houston Methodist Hospital, where he could know about and participate in clinical trials.
