@NikRoberts - Aside from the most obvious of wanting a cure found for this horrible disease I wonder if there has ever been any thought given to special facilities to care for people with PD. There are Alzheimer's facilities in nursing homes and some homes specifically for patients with that disease. But, PD patients are placed in the general population with all others. At lease that is the way it is in Columbus, Georgia. As we are all well aware, PD patients require specific care and medications administered timely and that does not happen in the general population facilities. Thank you for your willingness to travel and represent those of us who suffer from PD or are caregivers for loved ones with it. I am the latter. My husband has PD and it is difficult for both of us both physically and mentally. God bless and keep you.

You betcha I don't quit u gotta beat me

Why doesn’t PD have a DSM to standardize the diagnostic tools.

Medicare needs to make a stipulation that PT for patients with PD should be 100% covered even with a Medicare Advantage plan. I have to get therapy about twice a year and with the insurance copays, it just about breaks the bank.

In April of last year, i started on natural parkinsons disease herbal treatments from RICH HERBS FOUNDATION, i am happy to report this PD herbal treatment worked very effectively. My parkinson is totally under control, i had a total decline in symptoms, the tremors, shaking, stiffness, congnition and speech problems stopped.
