According to Parkinson.org, every year approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease but, because there’s no specific test for it, Parkinson's is one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose. Common early warning signs include shaking or tremor at rest, a change in voice such as increasing softness or mumbling and lack of facial expression.
Watch our video to learn more about what you can do if you have Parkinson’s disease.
[Animation transcript: Parkinson's Awareness Month
If you have Parkinson's disease, here are some important ways to manage your care...
- Create a plan with your doctor or neurologist.
- Look into receiving care from an occupational therapist, physical therapist or speech therapist.
- Don’t stop moving! Regular exercise can delay further symptoms.
- Surround yourself with support from loved ones! Social isolation can lead to depression and anxiety.
While there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, medications and other treatments can help with some of your symptoms.
Be sure to check in with your doctor regularly.]
