Suggest Treatment For Parkinson S Disease
How much experience have you had with patients that have Parkinson s? What can patients usually expect when diagnosed with Parkinson s? (activity and diet changes, progression of disease, life changes in general) I haven t found much information on treatment, what can you tell me about the types offered and how have they changed over time? Also, how well does the medicine work and what are some pros and cons? Is there any other information you can give me about dealing with Parkinson s that you ve learned from your practice? How does information online and the application of it in real life line up?
