Today we recognize the challenges faced by those living with Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases (CIND) such as ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Parkinsonโ€™s, and more. This day, marked on Florence Nightingaleโ€™s birthday, raises awareness to reduce stigma, promote early diagnosis, and encourage research and policy change.

Letโ€™s support patients with sensitivity, spread knowledge, and contribute to better care and understanding.

Today marks World Parkinsonโ€™s Day, a vital occasion to shine a light on Parkinson's Disease, which affects millions of people worldwide, including a growing number in Africa. With increasing awareness of neurodegenerative diseases, it is essential to understand the unique challenges faced by those living with Parkinsonโ€™s in the African context.

The number of individuals affected by Parkinson's disease is projected to rise significantly in Africa as the population ages.
Limited access to specialized care often results in late diagnosis and inadequate management of the disease.

Letโ€™s Raise Our Voices Together: On this World Parkinsonโ€™s Day, let us commit to advocating for better healthcare services, increasing awareness, and supporting research initiatives aimed at improving the lives of those affected by Parkinson's Disease in Africa.

My First Year Living With Parkinson's Disease. In the Spring of 2023 I noticed some minor tremors in my left handโ€ฆand I didnโ€™t think much of it. As it turned out, it was the first indication I was aware of that something was wrong. As it turned out Parkinson's Disease had started affecting my life years before.
