Neuro Talk: Strategies for Managing Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms

What are common Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms and what causes them? Each person’s experience with Parkinson’s is unique, as are their symptoms and management strategies.

In our latest Neuro Talk, Chief Scientific Officer James Beck, PhD, discusses common movement and non-movement symptoms of Parkinson’s, as well as available treatments and ongoing research. Learning how to navigate symptoms can take time, but ultimately helps empower you to live better with PD.

Im seven years post diagnosis. My first symptom was a jaw tremor.
Things have progressed and many common PD symptoms have taken hold, but im very thankful for C/L. My newest issue in memory loss.

I'm being sent to the university of South Florida neurology department to get tested to figure out what is wrong and I have several of these symptoms 😢

I was diagnosed with tremor dominant Parkinson's about six years ago. It began with a slight tremor in my right forefinger and today I have tremors in all my limbs and jaw. I had been doing Parkinson's foundation exercises, a six kilometre walk and an hour's yoga everyday regularly for the past several years. However a few months ago I have developed clenching of abdominal muscles and difficulty breathing at times. I have lost 20 kilos and get easily fatigued. Is any of this a side effect of c/ l that I take or is it just a progression of the disease?

Is Parkinson cure completely or only slowdowns the disease progression by using medication
