  • Paola was diagnosed with Parkinson's at age 12

    Today I came across a story by a young woman named Paola, who was first diagnosed with Juvenile Parkinsonsism at the age of 12. Somewhat fortunately, her grandfather has been diagnosed with PD and she was able to access the right specialists and get a correct diagnosis quickly. You can read her story here: https://www.apdaparkinson.org/story/paola/

    It has been 16 years since her diagnosis and today Paola is happily married with a baby son, but she writes that life with PD is difficult, particularly because of the strict medication regimen she has to follow.

    Do you know anyone who was diagnosed with PD at a young age?
