Although there is no cure for Parkinson’s there are many treatments and therapies available to help relieve the symptoms and maintain your quality of life.  Your diagnosis may have come as a total surprise or a confirmation of suspicions and it may take a little time to come to terms with the diagnosis.  Either way you are not alone.  Help, support and information is available for you.

Here's some advice from some of our members who are on the same journey.

Be active - sign up for exercise classes as soon as possible after diagnosis.  Exercise can slow, halt or even reverse the progression of your symptoms

Healthy diet - good nutrition is important for people with Parkinson’s

Stay positive - having a network of friends and family can help here

The Parkinson’s UK main website has a wealth of material covering all aspects of Parkinson’s. If you are newly diagnosed or would like more information we suggest you start there.
