Thankfully nowadays medical science has come on leaps and bounds in the last decade with regards the effects of this illness.

Different people have different symptoms from one another, and as a result of this, a different package of measures is put together for the individual that has show signs of Parkinson's.

Because of this, its onset can now be controlled well when spotted in its infancy.

The NHS has put aside task forces for different ailments together, to deliver a more tailored treatment - but due to the cuts recently introduced (Agenda For Change) by the bastardized government , waiting lists have soared and staff levels have been slashed.

I'd urge anyone that can afford it, to explore a quote for private medical cover for their families. I've had Bupa for a few years, and recently used it for my other half following weeks of waiting on the NHS (which could have been fatal) and her Examination/ diagnosis / operation all occurred with a blistering fast 48hrs.

Yet the NHS took 3 weeks to send her a letter, that informed her of her 'examination' date, which was a further 4 weeks from that point, and that an exploratory op (if required) was a further 6-8 weeks after that.

So yes, if you can stretch to cover yourselves for life's unexpected ailments, don't hesitate. Whilst the treatment will be the usually be the same , the waiting around (which makes you climb the walls) almost vanishes from the already-worrying situation. And your treated like royalty, not a pest.
