In a special to CNN, the Mayo Clinic’s mayoclinic.com reported that,
“Parkinson's disease is progressive, meaning the signs and symptoms
become worse over time. But although Parkinson's may eventually be
disabling, the disease often progresses gradually, and most people
have many years of productive living after a diagnosis.” This would
indicate that there may be effective interventions that could
perhaps slow the progress of the disease. When we get such a
diagnosis, our first reaction might be to withdraw and give up.
However, the old adage “use it or lose it” tells us that just the
opposite is true. If you have Parkinson’s, you’d likely be best off
to use everything your body is, every which way, on a regular basis.
