New Ask the MD Video: Six Tips for Your First Year with Parkinson's (and Beyond!)

Dear Friend, Whether you recently learned you have Parkinson's or have been living with the disease for years, you know how unsettling a diagnosis can be. Many remember the exact date they became, to their shock, part of the Parkinson's community. Some hear only, "You have Parkinson’s disease" -- everything else is a blur. It's a challenging moment, perhaps now more than ever, as the world faces an extraordinary pandemic and widespread, anxiety-provoking political unrest. It's not unusual to feel overwhelmed and entirely uncertain about what to do next. But you don't have to figure out everything at once. Take one step at a time and your path will fall into place. For tips on making your way forward, watch the video:   For more, download If I Knew Then What I Know Now: The Michael J. Fox Foundation Patient Council’s Guide for People Newly Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. And, check out MJFF's webinar on Navigating a New Parkinson's Diagnosis. All my best, Rachel Dolhun, MD P.S. Visit our Ask the MD webpage for more information on Parkinson's care and research.
