The medical team including your family doctor and neurologist, will be one of the main sources of help with your Parkinson’s. You will probably have lots of questions that you want to ask your doctor and you should not be afraid or embarrassed to ask. The team that you see will have many years of experience in treating Parkinson’s. But they will not have treated anyone with your exact circumstances.
Communication is key to a successful partnership
The support you will receive from the healthcare professionals involved in managing your Parkinson’s will depend on your willingness to talk openly with them. Remember you are a partnership and together you can steer a course through the Parkinson’s journey that suits you.
Useful questions and answers for each stage of your journey
The Parkinson’s Decision Aid highlights some of the questions that you might like to think about, both now and as your Parkinson’s progresses. They are based on the experience of healthcare professionals, people with Parkinson’s and their families.
