Has anyone found neck or back supports helpful
After seeing this picture, I'm thinking of buying a neck pillow (type you use on an airplane) for my hubby.
I'm curious about the number of Parkinson's patients that can still drive their cars.
Spare us the details Mike, we just need to know what colour it is, how powerful is the engine, does it pull like a steam train and how fast do you go in it?! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Before my official diagnosis, I was told not to drive by my doctor. Now that I'm on medication treatment for PD, and seeing positive benefits 'm hoping that they will allow me to drive again. Has anyone else experienced driving restrictions? What can I do to convince my doctor that I can drive again?
I can still drive but every year I'm not required by the DMV to take three tests: vision, written, & driving tests. I wish they made some of the young folks I see driving around here take the same… read more

What specific medication caused your hair loss and could you do anything to make it regrow? Did you change medication?

Have a nice day and wish you all the best!!❤️🙏🏽❤️

I agree Les. Truth is often shocking, scary and unwanted. But I think it is better to act on the truth then deal with unexpected outcomes that effect others.

I'm in the 4th year but still early stage of PD. When highway driving I notice my warning signal for being too close to the left of right of my lane is going off more frequently. I think I should consider giving up my license. Would you agree? I'm 80 years old. Also parking can be a challenge unless I have lots of room.
Giving up your freedom is a very personal thing. I gave up my license on my own initiative, because I felt I was a hazard. In my case it was easy. I found myself on the wrong side of a median strip… read more
