The Parkinson's Story

The story of Parkinson's disease goes back thousands of years. As far back as 5,000 years ago, it's believed that Parkinson's is described as part of ancient Indian medical practice. It's also believed that it was mentioned in the Nei Jing, the first Chinese medical text, which appeared more than 2,500 years ago.

Many chapters have been written in the Parkinson's story and many continue to be written. Today, new discoveries further our understanding of PD. More importantly, we all have our own experiences, our own stories, to tell. Welcome to ParkinsonOnline, a place where you watch the Parkinson's story unfold.
