WebMD and the Davis Phinney Foundation collaborated with our co-director Dr. Michael Okun on a new article that is more of a mini-course called “My Parkinson Disease Is Getting Worse! What’s Next?” In this course you will learn:
- The symptoms of advancing Parkinson disease
- Why symptoms may unexpectedly go “on” and “off”
- When you need more than one medicine
- Why deep brain stimulation (DBS) may help
- How a gel form of the medicines carbidopa and levodopa works
- Questions to ask your doctor
Check out this article and thank you to the Davis Phinney Foundation and WebMD for working on this!
