“Parkinson's like an unwelcome guest who's still in my house when I return & have to look after them. They try holding me back as I do my best to face the challenges that are inevitable.” Illustration inspired by : Richelle Flanagan, diagnosed @ 46. Soania Mathur MD, DX @ 28

“... By working together, we aim to leverage genetic insights and biomarker-driven development to accelerate the availability of effective treatments for people living with Parkinson’s disease.” Carole Ho, MD Chief Medical Officer of Denali Therapeutics -- Parkinson’s disease affects nearly one million people in the U.S. and 8.5 million worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis is challenging due to similarities with other neurological disorders, and available treatments can only manage symptoms, not offer a cure. Today the FNIH is proud to announce the launch of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® in Parkinson’s Disease and Related Disorders (AMP® PDRD). This public-private partnership aims to identify and validate biomarkers that will differentiate Parkinson’s disease from related disorders, leading to earlier diagnoses, more timely interventions, and better treatment options.

#Parkinsons is a 24 hour disease, there is no real reprieve from the symptoms. Managing those nocturnal and sleep symptoms is impt for quality of life. Thought I would share my personal experience unshakeablemd.com/post/can-t…

This is a very special and beautiful moment #Parkinson
Last night Coldplay invited Michael J. Fox (from Back to the Future) to perform "Fix You" at Glastonbury. Michael had to play sitting in a wheelchair because his illness prevented him from standing. This is beautiful and touching. Michael is a legend of the 80's cinema.

Privileged to have the opportunity to speak with @MichaelOkun about #Parkinsons treatments coming down the pipeline. He has the amazing ability to translate complex scientific concepts to easily understandable information. Such a pleasure to get a yearly update!
Do you know all the emerging therapies to watch for in 2024 and beyond targeting Parkinson's disease? Once a year @SoaniaMathur picks my brain for an hour on the @DavisPhinneyFND webinar. The full interactive interview is up on their @YouTube channel, and we pasted a teaser video below. Do you know what CRISPR stands for? Will we see a rebirth of regenerative medicine? Do you know what symptoms the patch will help with or what brain receptors are 'hot in Parkinson's research'? Should you be thinking about which DBS device to get or is that the wrong question? This is our 'three-peat,' as we take on all the questions associated with emerging Parkinson's disease therapies. The full interview and discussion just went live. youtu.be/rlQon13pdis #Parkinsons
