What can I make to live with my disease? Your age, your general
health, your mental attitude, the support of your family and your
financial standing are all of the factors which will influence your
capacity with living with the Parkinson's disease. Here some useful
suggestions, even if the problems and the solutions vary according to
each person:
- Accept the diagnosis. If you claim that all is well, you are likely
not to receive the suitable treatment. Rather try to
include/understand your disease.
- Follow your treatment to the letter.
- Consult the best doctors, nurses and other specialists in the
field.
- Prepare a schedule for the day and are faithful there as much as
possible. Accept the fact that certain days will be better than
others.
- do not be too proud and accept the assistance that one offers to
you, including that of your spouse or your best friend. It is easier
to face this situation with two, and your entourage also with need to
get information about the Parkinson's disease and the effect of this
disease on you.
- Concentrate on your talents and your forces rather than on your
weaknesses.
