@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. Not necessarily progress slower... just differently. Because you are young and probably not already in poor health, you stand a better chance of staving off PD progression better...longer than us older folks. Wouldn't it be a nice counteraction to perhaps not suffer as much as the older patients. Of course, no matter how old you are at PD onset, nobody wants to be the unfortunate recipient of Parkinsons. Love you girlfriend. Sterling
Hi JennyHart, I did not think exercise actually slowed progression, just thought it made you feel better. I will have to check with my doctor about that. Bean
Exercise is vital! The Meds help the symptoms of PD but only exercise has been proven to slow progression xx
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. None of us know enough. Because what we learned today will be out of date and not usable tomorrow. Things change so fast. It's not unusual to feel lost and like you don't know where you're going or what you should be doing. We all feel that way to some degree and some particular point in time. I hope your husband starts to feel better. It could be the drugs bringing on the dementia. What is he taking? Sterling
I agree with sterling, my husband was not young, 72, and his symptoms didn't progress real fast. But he fell and broke his leg two years ago, then he went downhill. And dementia set in ,although I'm not so sure it wasn't brought on by the meds. At this stage, I'm not sure which is the worst. He never had a tremor, just the slowness that progressed. Reading this message--it sounds like I'm not too sure about anything.
