Understanding Life with Severe Parkinson's Disease

The Reality You're Living

If you or a loved one is living with advanced Parkinson’s, you know that each day is unpredictable. Severe rigidity and bradykinesia, freezing episodes that happen without warning, dyskinesia from medications, cognitive fog, swallowing difficulties, and the constant adjustment of timing everything around medication schedules.

You might be:
  • Struggling with severe motor fluctuations between on and off periods
  • Experiencing freezing episodes that make walking dangerous
  • Dealing with dyskinesia or other medication side effects
  • Worried about falls and mobility safety
  • Frustrated by cognitive changes affecting memory and decision making
  • Exhausted from complex medication schedules throughout the day and night
  • Concerned about swallowing difficulties and choking risks
  • Needing more help but wanting to maintain whatever independence remains
We understand how challenging advanced Parkinson's is. And we're here to provide the specialised support you need.
