Hello Willialal. Marie here. Welcome! My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2009. He will be 81 this year. It has been an up and down journey, and we continue to move forward. I wish you peace and strength and courage as you continue to move forward in your life. There are many ways of managing this distressing, and sometimes frightening condition. Remember that you are stronger than you may sometimes believe, and that there are many people and resources around to give you help and comfort. Best to you!!!

Hi willialal. New kid on the block. Actually we’re the same age but you lasted 10/15 years longer than me. Hope you’re in decent shape because if you haven’t heard yet, you’ll need to exercise almost every day That’s if you want to keep pace with your symptoms. Get off the couch Go for a walk, you’ll feel better.

I've researched things that help with Parkinson's and its been unanimous that exercise is essential as a treatment. I've been going to the gym 5days. a week and do a hard workout

If you contact me. I will let you know how I managed to reverse all my PD symptoms more than 30 years ago. I am now 88 and still going strong., All that was done at no cost at all.

I would love to find out what you did. I am 71 years old and have just been diagnosed - also I live in India.

What a coincidence, I will be speaking to the Indian PD Association in Durban next week.

I am not allowed to give you my email address on the forum so, Google my name and look at Reverse Parkinson's Disease, then contact me. I will give you everything, free of charge.

What is in your little picture? Kind of looks like Graham crackers stacked with a ribbon, but I am sure it is something else. Welcome to the community, hope you will learn alot from all of us with Parkinsons world wide.

Welcome. This is a supportive community where you can find a lot of interesting links to research and remedies. If you ask a question, most of the time someone will try to answer it.

Welcome to the club, a club we didn't choose to join, but since you are here now, there is abundance of information on PD and how to face your symptoms. You need your neurologist or MDS, but you will need more the wisdom, personal experience, and knowledge of this club.

I don't have PD, my husband does, diagnosed 6 years ago, although symptoms had started long before then.
