Here is your opportunity to learn about Parkinson’s Disease from the real experts here in Tillamook County, Michael and Joanne Love.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement. It grows step by step, in some cases beginning with a scarcely detectable tremor in only one hand. However, while a tremor may be the most known indication of Parkinson’s illness, the issue usually causes stiffness or slow movement.
In the early phases of Parkinson’s disease, your face may demonstrate zero articulation or your arms practically may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become difficult or slurred. The side effects of the disease intensify as your condition advances over the long run.
Despite the fact that Parkinson’s disease can’t be cured, drugs might help with improving your symptoms. In periodic cases, your specialist may propose surgery to control certain areas of your brain and control your symptoms.
The Tillamook County Parkinson’s disease support group meets regularly, the second Thursday each month from 1 to 2:30 pm with resources, speakers and activities.

Well-being advancements through training are key for a healthy life.
