Team Parkinson's Research: Quality of Life

Jack Harless
Team captain

We have 15 members & going strong. This week we looked at a Parkinson’s blog that was full of useful information, http://parkinsonsfocustoday.blogspot.com/2011/01/parkinsons-updates-odds-ends-beginnings.html. We highlighted a paragraph that, I feel, is particularly helpful to us @ St. Leonard. “People often ask what is the best medicine for Parkinson's disease and I must say that there is no best answer, what is best is what works to relieve your symptoms and will allow you to have the best quality of life possible. For most people, one medication, one treatment is not going to be enough. We still encourage everyone explore dietary adjustments; nutritional supplements of good quality; physical (exercise), speech, massage, occupational, music and dance therapy. Never forget the power of true laughter to feel better.”
