Parkinson’s and You
Information about Parkinson’s and how it affects your life.
- What is Parkinson’s?
  Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, many people are affected and if you have recently been diagnosed you are not alone, Fight Parkinson’s is here to support you.
- Symptoms
  Although classified as a movement disorder, it can affect people in different ways. Sometimes the emotional changes can be more troublesome than the motor changes, and can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day life of someone living with Parkinson’s.
- Treatments & Professional Support
  It is important for people living with Parkinson’s to be proactive in the management of their condition. However, they do not have to face this challenge alone.
- Living with Parkinson’s
  One of the key things to remember is that most people with Parkinson’s disease continue to live long and rewarding lives.

Library

Fight Parkinson’s has a resource library at its office in Canterbury Road, Surrey Hills.

This library contains books, DVDs, and CDs with content specifically about Parkinson’s and many aspects relevant to living with, or caring for someone with Parkinson’s.

All current members of Fight Parkinson’s can borrow resources from this library for a period of one month at a time, for free. Resources can be picked up from the office, or posted out to you – the only cost you will incur is returning the resource to us (via post or in person) at the end of the lending period.

Support for you
