The Faces of Parkinson's Connie Udell

American football icon Walter Payton made the famous quote, ?We are stronger together than we are alone.? When it comes to the unknowns of hearing you have a disease that there is no known cure for called Parkinson's having a community of people to network with can make all the difference in your life! We know that those with Parkinson's (PD) don't always have identical symptoms. Medicines for one may not work as well for another. How someone adjusts to a life with PD is different from person to person. I always say with someone in your family has PD, than you have PD as well! There is a lot to navigate through when you have been diagnosed with Parkinson's. A supportive community of those with PD, their families and care givers can benefit from having others to talk to, to share ideas, to know that you are not alone! To learn from! The Faces of Parkinson's is a look at a variety of individuals with Parkinson's and their caregivers. Each presents a different perspective on the disease.
