- You must exercise! Exercise! Exercise! This is probably the most important piece of advice anyone can give or receive regarding dealing with Parkinson’s disease.
- Leave your pride in the doctor’s office. Accept help.
- Find a movement disorder specialist as soon as possible. There really is a big difference in the type of care you will receive.
- It’s quite easy to be anxious about your diagnosis. It is not a death sentence, and many, many people with Parkinson’s disease have gone on to live very productive lives after being diagnosed.
- You will find you are stronger than you ever imagined you could be.
- Make your health a priority.
- Take someone with you to your doctor’s appointments to help you remember what you wanted to ask and to help you remember what the answer was!
- Fight for your life. There will be hard days, bad days, and oh, so great days. Relish the great ones and fight through the harder ones. You will get through!
- Don’t spend quality time focused on what you can’t see or can’t know: the future. Don’t regret things from the past. Focus on living in the now.
- You are not alone in this journey. There may not be a cure yet, but there is definitely a community.
- Everyone wears the coat of PD differently.
- PD is sooooooo unpredictable.
- Try not to begin more than one medication at a time so you are able to tell how you are reacting to it.
- Some friends will leave your circle of friendship because they can’t relate or understand what you’re now going through. That will leave room for new friends who do or want to understand.
- Find out as much as you can about Parkinson’s but don’t believe everything you read.
