Can Parkinson’s symptoms lessen?

Category: Symptoms

While Parkinson’s symptoms tend to get progressively worse over time, symptom severity can vary from day to day and even from hour to hour. Symptoms that cause problems on one day may be less problematic the next. Medications to control symptoms may help to improve the experience of living with Parkinson’s disease, but no treatments are currently available that can slow or stop the overall progression of the disease.
