Try medication first. Parkinson's can be very slow to progress. Your from India or Pakistan I am guessing. Keep moving; exercise every day. Yoga, meditation, some kind of strength training will help both your mind and body, and slow progression of the disease. Most of all have hope; gene therapy is showing amazing results. They might have a cure in your lifetime. Google www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/parkinsons_disease/parkinsons. It's the United States National instituite for Health's website, it will answer all your questions. Good luck,

don't really know but look at michael j fox he has parkinson's and is getting ready to do another tv show. If you cannot afford what operations they want to do look into applying for medicaid, many prayers
