Being diagnosed with Parkinson's
Will I die from Parkinson's?
PARKINSON'S DECISION AID
.
Will I die from Parkinson's?
Parkinson’s is a life-altering, not a life-threatening illness, so you will die with it, not from it. How you die will be dependent on many other factors related to your health and will not be related to Parkinson’s alone.
Questions you may be asking
What is Parkinson's and what makes you think I have it?
What causes Parkinson's and is there a cure?
Will I die from Parkinson's?
Is there a test that can be carried out to confirm I definitely have Parkinson’s?
If the diagnosis is uncertain, how long will it take for it to be confirmed?
Where can I find more information, either written or on the Internet?
Is Parkinson’s hereditary? Can others in my family have a test?
