Dr. Gilbert Hosts: Genetics and PD With Dr. Clemens Scherzer
Genetic mutations, genetic testing, genetic research — it’s fascinating stuff! Dr. Clemens Scherzer recently sat down with Dr. Rebecca Gilbert for an episode of Dr. Gilbert Hosts to discuss genetics and PD ― but don’t worry if you missed it! You can watch it (and all past broadcasts of Dr. Gilbert Hosts) in our Educational Video Library.
Around Your Neighborhood and Across the Nation: APDA’s Spring Virtual Optimism Walk!
The Virginia, Massachusetts, and Northwest Optimism Walks kicked off virtually on May 22! Participants joined together for an inspiring virtual Opening Ceremony and then headed out to walk safely in their own neighborhoods, sharing photos and messages on social media to stay connected and keep the fun going. Check out #OptimismWalk on social media to see how walkers celebrated — and visit our schedule of upcoming Walks to register and learn more about our fall events.
New & Improved ― The APDA Symptom Tracker
Each person’s PD symptoms are as unique as the person living with it. That’s why APDA launched an updated and enhanced app to help track PD symptoms.
Now also available in Spanish, the APDA Symptom Tracker helps users track symptoms (like tremors, balance issues, and more) and their medications. You can also create useful reports to save and share with your healthcare team — because the more you can share about your specific symptoms, the more personalized care your doctors can provide.
Download the APDA Symptom Tracker today, available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Or visit our website to learn more.
