Reality: No person experiences the same Parkinson’s progression, symptoms or reaction to treatments, so even the best doctors cannot tell you exactly what lies ahead.
Fact: You can help change your future! Improve your disease at every stage by ensuring you stay fit and receive adequate sleep and nutrition. Exercise can improve mobility, stamina, mood and quality of life. People living with PD who seek expert care from a comprehensive team have better outcomes. Their complication risks are lower, and they enjoy better quality and longer lives. In fact, neurologist care saves about 4,600 lives each year in the U.S. alone.
