PD a progressive muscles disorders

PD is a progressive and chronic disease.

Unfortunately we have so far do not have any way to check on from it comming to our body.

Human grow older and the chances to have PD are high as the movement go slow as well as bad body posture .

It is difficulty to check on people at the age above 60 years old to have PD. Therefore they mostly die on aspiration pneumonia. Besides we do not have enough Movement disorder specialists. It takes 2 to 3 weeks to make appointment with them especially in the remote countries . We have so far 4 PD specialists in Singapore and one in Malaysia. Best regards

Dear Teo,

I did not realize there were so few Parkinson specialists in your country; that must make it even more difficult to get an accurate diagnosis of PD. Good for you for taking such an active part in your own health care -- you > have studied and researched PD and learned the best ways to fight it and > stay healthy, and minimize the symptoms. That will certainly stand you in > good stead!>> Best regards,
