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 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 deep brain stimulation. Such a decision
represents a significant step in the life of someone with Parkinson’s.”
