We are so glad that you found us, and are taking the time to get to know us. There is a good chance you are here because you, or someone else you know, has Parkinson's Disease. Don't worry, we know what it's like, it's okay to say it's not the greatest news, because it's not. On the flip side though, now we can take this journey of Parkinson's Disease together, and maybe it won't be as bad as it would be alone. Welcome to Life with Parkinson's.
Our goal is not just about sharing our journey of Parkinson's Disease together, it is also about finding ways to ease your symptoms, because they sure can be annoying. Through personal research, sponsor and partner companies, we are beginning to put together list of items that can at least provide some partial remedy to an illness with no known cure. Life is a bit more bearable with something to ease the annoyance.
Have a look through our website, follow us on social media, and feel free to send any questions through our contact page, and we look forward to getting to know you.
Thank you.
