Unfortunately, there’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease. Thanks to L-dopa, patients can wake up in the morning and live a normal life but this medicine is not working forever. After the ‘honeymoon period’, side effects (like dyskinesia, hallucinations, agitation, paranoia, confusion) appear. It’s a tough choice and kind of tragic decision to make for Parkies.
