What Does Living With Parkinson's Disease Look Like?

You can have more control than you realize over how fast your disease progresses and how much you suffer from the symptoms.

Many Parkinson’s patients are prescribed the same course of treatment given since the late 1960s:

  • Levodopa Carbidopa (aka Sinemet)
  • Annual Check-up with a Neurologist


These are two important parts of treatment. But medicine has made significant advances since then.
