Parkinson's: Hope on the horizon

[Farooqji]

Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that steals cognitive capacity and movement control, is a foe that can be better fought given new research and treatment.

While there's no cure yet, exciting discoveries offer a more hopeful outlook for patients. Earlier detection, promising new therapies and a growing emphasis on exercise and community support are changing the game.

i doubt all this hope

My father was diagnosed 32 years ago with PD and used the same meds that we use now

It is a shame

My grandfather was diagnosed over 60 years ago, me 5 years ago, and yeah I'm taking the same medication. Sad. Carbadopa l-dopa business is good. It has helped some but the trade off is the diskenesi.

Another happy headline. Nothing new. They're even talking about rock steady boxing. Just filling space.

Sorry Farooqji, I do appreciate your work.
