PD Treatment

Parkinson's Disease can't be cured, but medications can help with the symptoms. In some cases, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery may be suggested. Your doctor will probably also recommend lifestyle changes, especially exercise.

]You may find run into some scams online that claim cures. The cure may involve going to another country for the cure. It may be about people taking a bunch of vitamins and herbs for the cure. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease. People don't die from having PD, but you can die from PD complications such as choking, falling, infections, and skin cancer. 

The gold standard is carbidopa levodopa which takes various forms, time released pills, pumps, injections. There are also other meds that work with carbidopa levodopa. It's all a balancing act that you and your movement specialist will continue to adjust over time.  Don't let someone else's treatment affect your own decisions because everyone is different.
