please share with people that RBD leads to Parkinsonian diseases 97% within 14 years of diagnosis 3% is not immune. I think I read that every decade there is a 50% chance of increased risk. also, the parkinsonian diseases you get with RBD are significantly more severe. No treatment and virtually a death sentence. 6 to 8 years. that is where I am. RBD diagnosis 10 years ago. now, I am waiting for an appointment with a Neurologist. waiting to die. I suppose.
