A member asked:
What is the prognosis of parkinson's, will not be able to speak eventually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: In late stages only parkinsons patients lose the capacity to speak. Treatment delays the progression in a way that in most cases ability to speak is preserved. Best wishes.
