095 Parkinson's Stages Explained

What stage are you in? Do people ask you that question? If so, do you tell them? Do you even know? What are the stages and what do they mean? Frankly, I have never asked my movement disorder specialist neurologist what stage I am in. I don't know why. We have never discussed it. However, learning and knowing more about how your doctor is tracking the progression of the disease is, I think, important. So, today we are going to speak with a movement disorder specialist. He will explain the stages of Parkinson's disease.  What they are and what that means to individuals and their families. I think you will find this episode interesting and helpful. https://www.honorhealth.com/physicians/daniel-savitt https://www.parkinson.org/understanding-parkinsons/what-is-parkinsons/stages  https://www.dbsandme.com/en.html
