Welcome to the forum, half-pint!

I think you have come to a very good place with a ton of information about almost all things about PD. More specific questions will get you more specific answers and this is a good place to ask those questions because of the tremendous amount of experience that many members have on this forum. Look around the forum and start reading about the topics that interest you and then ask away!

Good luck!

I just started B1 injections, currently 1 injection every week. How long does it take to see results? What improvement are you seeing on your husband? I cant wait to see results. I had 2 injections so far.

Regards.

Welcome to this forum! You will find a wealth of knowledge about PD and it's effect on it's victims, with this blog. Also, you will find that people who have lived with neuro-degenerative disease, like PD, know best on how to cope with the multitude of symptoms and problems that can come up with living with it day to day.I have benefited greatly from this forum, and have made friends with fellow Parkies!

go to Parkinson.org. They have free info you can request. Learn all you can about the different symptoms that can occur so you do not panic if something new happens. There is also info on exercise and other treatments including meds and research going on. Knowledge is power.
