Emily -- The progression of PD like the responses to the drugs to treat PD is so individual. While the disease usually progresses, sometimes it does not. Or does so very slowly. It is also well documented in the anecdotal literature that changes in the medication regimen of PWPs has sometimes produced almost miraculous results for that patient. It is so darn trial and error, this thing called Parkinson's Disease. I think that is one of the most frustrating things about it.

He is not yet on any medication as we have to wait for the movement specialist. What my questions is if you have experienced steady progression of the disease and if there is time when this disease goes into remission with or without drugs. Our doctor told us bluntly that with my husband's progression of the disease he is not a candidate to live with the disease for 20 or 30 years as some of you are experiencing, long life with PD. Would you share your experience.
