Parkinson’s and You
Information about Parkinson’s and how it affects your life.
- What is Parkinson’s?
  Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, many people are affected and if you have recently been diagnosed you are not alone, Fight Parkinson’s is here to support you.
- Symptoms
  Although classified as a movement disorder, it can affect people in different ways. Sometimes the emotional changes can be more troublesome than the motor changes, and can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day life of someone living with Parkinson’s.
- Treatments & Professional Support
  It is important for people living with Parkinson’s to be proactive in the management of their condition. However, they do not have to face this challenge alone.
- Living with Parkinson’s
  One of the key things to remember is that most people with Parkinson’s disease continue to live long and rewarding lives.
