My name is Larry, diagnosd with Parkinsion's in Jan 2003, when I was having trouble writing. Have had the deep brain stimulation surgery (with no apparent success) and am now living in an independent living facility. I have never had a tremor,still can't write and speech has been reduced to gibberish, stutteirng snd stammering (Not good for one who made his living as a trial lawyer), and I fall whenever I get too far from my electris cart or walker.I stumbled upon your site as I was researching the benefits. if any, of exercise on the symptmsof PD.Does anyon have any expeience with exercise having any effect on the symptoms of PD? your site looks helpful I hope yoou can help me deal with my insrmoontable conderns.

Welcome! Scroll down to the Parkinson's Disease forum and look at the postiing yesterday by Carolyn. She is one of our long-time members who is especially faithful to post useful information. This posting is specifically on Parkinson's-specific exercise.
