Parkinson's disease how long can a person live with this ?

Question

My Grandmother has had this for 22 years. I just wondered if anyone knows if you can live as much as 30 years or more with this disease? Thanks very much in advance for any genuine replies.

Answer 1

My father was diagnosed in April 92.He was told that his life would deteriorate as fast or slow as he wanted it to.Apart from the obvious effects it was also said that it had to do with his state of mind and whether he was prepared to stay active or not.He has grandchildren that run him ragged and he still coaches a kids football team.He does have quite severe shaking on his left side and has his off times of day when hes not too quick on his feet.His specialist seems to think that he will live longer this way though.Sufferers often have the condition for 40+ years so don't worry too much about your nan.Just keep her involved and don't treat her like an invalid.
I hope this helps.

Answer 2

It would be incredibly difficult to say how long a person with Parkinson's disease might live for. It's different for different people. With some it progresses rapidly, and with others it reaches a plateau for a while before it progresses again.

I worked with people suffering Parkinson's disease for over 10 years, and when I was forced to retire on grounds of ill-health, there were still residents in the home that had been there for almost as long as I had.

I pray that your Grandmother lives for as long, and in as much comfort, as possible.

I used to know a lady who had been diagnosed with parkinsons in the 1960s. She is still going strong as far as I know. The internet has many stories of people who have lived with parkinsons for 40 + years. It really is true that where there's life, there's hope.

All the best

It can be a long life. Depends on how severe it is and gets. You can help slow down Parkinson's even more (up to 40%) with 1200mgs or more of CoQ-10 per day. That can be found in places like Vitamin World (a little expensive).

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/XsGc0

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

My friend Rose was about 50 when she first came upon a new natural kidney healing program. Her life had been devastated, literally ruined with stage 4 kidney disease. She had no life, no job because she was too sick to work, not enough energy to see her friends and sat around most of the time watching TV. She basically was waiting around for kidney failure and to start dialysis. She is much better now. She followed a natural method with great results.
