When Meg Moore was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, her first thought was for her family. “My main concern was, that I wanted to be with my grandchildren. I wanted them to know me.”

Dr. Aremmia Tanious, a neurologist at South Central Regional Medical Center, says that Parkinson’s disease “can be very painful and disabling for patients before the treatment. And, once they receive the treatment, patients could tell a huge difference in the quality of life.”

Some of the most common symptoms of Parkinson’s are tremors, stiffness, and speech changes.
