Advice and care from medical teams is invaluable but reassurance and empathy from a fellow person with Parkinson’s is often essential for people facing the choices and challenges of a debilitating disease such as Parkinson’s.
"By inviting people to share their stories candidly, and by making these available in six languages, we hope to encourage and reassure people with Parkinson’s. This peer-to-peer contact can be essential for the newly diagnosed, but especially for those for whom medication is beginning to fail, and for whom other treatment options have to be considered. Parkinson’s is a disease that forces people to make deeply personal, and often difficult, decisions. But by considering the choices and experiences of others, we believe this path can be made easier.
The contributing people have taken the choice to manage their Parkinson’s with brain stimulation. Such a decision represents a significant step in the life of someone with Parkinson’s.”
Stephen Pickard, EPDA President
