    Hi everyone, today I read this article, which talks about how specific motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease have a corresponding cognitive profile, with the tremor-dominant type being associated with less severe cognitive decline.

    I’m curious to know how this study’s findings match up with your own personal experience. How do motor and non-motor symptoms play out in your life?  Do you experience tremors as part of your PD symptoms? Have you noticed any decline in your cognitive abilities?

    Interesting question.  I do not have tremors, however, just recently, I have noticed some minor declines in my cognitive abilities.   I wonder if it is just related to age or PD…

      Hmm I wonder if there is a test that can help you tell the difference?

      Hi Natalie, that is encouraging for me to hear.  We all have such different symptoms and progress differently.  What are your most bothersome PD symptoms?  MIne are extreme fatigue, poor fine motor skills, bradykinesia and poor balance and just generally feeling terrible.
