My husband was diagnosed about 9 years ago and I would consider his progression to be slow. He is nearly 75 now and in addition to tremor, he does suffer from urinary issues, constipation, general weakness and balance concerns. BUT he is still driving and played golf (poorly) yesterday.

I guess my main advice is to exercise. I finally convinced my husband to try the boxing for Parkinson’s patients in addition to working with a trainer and going to a gym. Many people say that boxing ism”life changing”.

Be regular with medication and do your best to maintain a positive attitude. Don’t look too far down the road. I recently joined a PD support group and have found it helpful, even through it can also be a bit depressing.

Best wishes to both of you.
