There will be a 150% increase in Parkinson after COVID like we saw in 1918 flu says expert researcher Richard Smeyne #mdscongress today. If he is right, we better prepare for this growth and redouble efforts in prevention, research and care! #parkinson

"Als deze generatie politici geen historische gigafouten kan rechtzetten, moet je het parlement afschaffen. Ik hoop dat de toekomstige parlementsleden zeggen: ik ga geen poppenkast spelen in het parlement."

Unbelievable; het pesticideplan dead and burried. industry vs wellbeing ...Shameful. Je vraagt je af hoe extreem rechts in de EU slapend rijk wordt. @basbloem @GarryBoyle @MyMovesMatter @ParkinsonsEU @Koen_Geens1 @MetzTilly
Scandale au Parlement #UE lors du vote pr réduire l'usage des #pesticides
➡️Alors que pollutions chimiques inquiètent de + en + de citoyens, la droite libérale et conservatrice s’assied sur notre santé, notre planète et notre avenir
😡C’est un scandale!

Occasionally it occurs to me that the same brain that has this disease is the same brain that has to manage it. If that isn’t a brain f*ck I don’t know what is. I’m sure Descartes, Socrates, Chanakya or Merton have something enlightening to say on this. #ParkinsonsDisease.
Exactly this
Will we ever be able to convey how absolutely terrible it really feels to be conscious, willing yet trapped in a young body that cannot be moved. After 12 years it's just disability and despair somedays. Battling on and trying is testing . no test like it . FU #parkinsons

Thanks for Tweeting re DBS programming. There has been significant effort to develop and refine the technology. Many hours are then spent selecting suitable patients, pre-op, the operation itself and then post-op hospital care. I suggest a few extra hours programming per patient!
This should be general knowledge for the sake of our community @CureParkinsonsT @womenspdproject @ParkinsonsUK – at Brasschaat, België

Parkinson's not just an old men's disease
This is a campaign very close to my heart. Please retweet to raise awareness that Parkinson’s can affect any age.

Waarom blijft @bartschols herhalen dat de landbouw nooit stikstof gereduceerd heeft ? 😓

I am really looking forward to chatting with @KathleenKiddo and @VAertsen next weekend on the topic of Deep Brain Stimulation. Thanks to my friends at Parkython for organizing this event.
