Clinical trial for disease altering drug will be recruiting soon. According to the article: “… the study will include those age 45-80 years old with a diagnosis of idiopathic PD no more than 18 months prior to screening.”According to article: “…it demonstrated promise in ameliorating specific non-motor symptoms of PD, particularly issues with fatigue and restlessness of the legs.”I am John Andrejack.

I am very disappointed in this outcome. Particularly because this treatment is already helping people in several other countries. I hope that it is approved by the FDA soon. From the article: “The agency’s complete response letter (CRL) flagged observations discovered during an inspection of a third-party manufacturer listed in AbbVie’s drug application. The inspection at the facility did not involve ABBV-951 or any AbbVie medicine…”I am John Andrejack.

This is a great article. Here are some tips on how you could make it more PD or YOPD specific.Pinpoint why you’re concern:“I have noticed your limp is a little more pronounced lately…”Drill down: “What’s your most challenging symptom?”Look for an opportunity to follow up: “Apathy and chronic fatigue? I have an idea. Can I pick you up after work tomorrow and we can have dinner at my place? I’d like to talk to you more about this”Don’t set out to solve the problem. You can’t, so don’t try. What you can do is be there for them. Sometimes that’s enough.Last piece of advice do not ask, “Is everything OK?” or “Are you ?” First of all, this Illicits the response of response of, “yes, I’ll be OK…” Second, you do not want to put the burden on the other person to make you feel better about their condition. If you have ever had to do this you know that it is exhausting. Finally, if someone has a serious illness or condition, specifically an incurable disease, they are not OK. They may never be OK again. This does not mean that they cannot live a full life, but they are not going be OK.I am John Andrejack. This is a message of hope!

Did you grow up in the Garden State? Do you know anyone with Parkinson’s disease or YOPD? In the US about 1% of people will develop PD and YOPD. Unfortunately, 1.6% of the people in NJ will be diagnosed with PD or YOPD!I am John Andrejack. This is a message of Hope!

The Department of Environmental Conservation knew for over two years that was there over 450 times what is considered a safe level for TCE and said nothing! In this 2 years period over 100,000 people were needlessly exposed to toxic vapors! TCE exposure correlates to cancer and Parkinson’s Disease. Exposure to this level of TCC increases your chances of getting Parkinson’s Disease by 500%!I am John Andrejack. This is a message of Hope!
