Most of the memories I have of my grandmother are post-serious Parkinson's progression. She was able to live a very long life, but it seriously affected her. Good luck, hoping for the best for you.
Fuck Parkinson's.

Some research suggests that highly educated individuals may have a slightly higher risk of being diagnosed with Parkinson.
Wishing you all the best.
