Incurable degenerative progressive.But wellness with illness is possible and chances of a normlal life expectancy are good thanks to the drugs we have available.

Azilect slows the breakdown of dopamine and other brain chemicals. Also known as Rasagaline. Its sometimes prescribed to work alongside carbidopa levodopa which helps replace dopamine being lost due to PD. I have been taking it for 2 years. It doesn't help with your symptoms such as tremors however. As it was explained to me by my Dr, it works in the background to help slow down the progression of PD. Hope that answers your question.

I know it’s difficult but patience is a requirement for a couple living with PD.
