We discuss the value that community programs bring to people with PD as well as discuss the value of support groups.
As we move from Women's History Month to Parkinson's Disease Awareness month, I felt it was important to take some time and talk about the impact of Parkinson's Disease on Women. Women are not diagnosed with PD as frequently as men and experience different symptoms of Parkinson's that will impact their lives differently than their male counterparts.
This week on the podcast I talk about pain.
