[quote=Anonymous]To the previous pp - I agree that physical activity seems to help, at least in some cases. One of my family members has parkinsons. He's always been a very good athlete and played team sports into his 60s (pre diagnosis) and is still working very hard to keep active now, even though he's now in his late 70s - takes classes at the gym (not sure if they're parkinsons specific or not), plus lots of walks with his family. It seems like that's helping him slow down the progression of the disease. It's been 7-8 years since he was diagnosed and while he's definitely slowed down, he's still able to get around fairly well. It's a tough disease, and it seems like there are various forms and causes. I'm hopeful that we're making progress in preventing and treating it. [/quote]
