4. Newly Diagnosed? Let’s Chart Your Course - One of the keys to living well with Parkinson’s today is to learn how to deal with what’s in front of you and resist the temptation to project too far into the future. Charting Your Course: A Parkinson’s Primer for the Newly Diagnosed was designed to shorten the distance between three life-changing words — "You have Parkinson’s" — and living well.
