A Marathon Runner Reveals how Running Helped him with Parkinson’s.
When I was diagnosed in 2002, my symptoms were minimal. On a scale of one to ten, one being no symptoms and 10 being non-functional, I would give myself a 2. Today, eleven years after my diagnosis, I would give myself a 3. I believe my symptoms have remained mild because I ran before and after my diagnosis. Running I am sure has delayed progress both the progression and severity of the disease.
