While Parkinson’s disease (PD) can affect everyone differently, there is common ground among community members. To find out more about how people with PD cope with their condition, manage their symptoms, and improve their quality of life, we conducted our 4th Annual Parkinson’s Disease In America survey. Nearly 1,500 people completed the survey, providing an interesting look at PD.

We created a quick poll to share some of these responses and raise awareness about what life with PD is like. Test your PD knowledge, then let us know how you did in the comments. All answers are reflective of our survey data.
