My heart goes out to Bruce Willis and his family, & also my gratitude for shining a much needed light on this disease. When people step forward it helps all of us. When people get a diagnosis it’s extremely difficult, but also for most a relief to get a diagnosis.

This is HUGE news. New study shows the incidence of #Parkinson’s diagnosis in the US is actually 50% higher than originally thought - 90,000 people a year are dx with PD, not 60,000. This is a big difference. prnewswire.com/news-releases…

Exercise helps symptoms & slows disease progression, yet 41% with #Parkinsons do the same or less exercise than before diagnosis. Half don’t do recommended strength, balance & flexibility exercises. Others overdo it. Why? Personas give us a clue, as one size rarely fits all in pd
