Managing Life with Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease typically begins with subtle symptoms, such as tremors, stiffness, or slowed movement, usually on one side of the body. These signs reflect a brain abnormality affecting mobility, and they tend to worsen over time. The progression varies; some people experience mild symptoms for years, while others face more serious challenges such as difficulty walking, speaking, and even cognitive decline. Parkinson’s affects how individuals engage with the world and can impact their self-confidence. The ultimate goal is to slow or stop the disease’s progression and help patients feel comfortable and true to themselves again.
