- parkinsons can create fatal problems but my uncle was 96 when they finally let him die. if the brain surgery included implants with batteries like my friend, maybe she needs new implants or batteries. it takes surgery to deal with that. it is a progressive illness thats for sure.

- Nobody can tell you how long your mother will live, especially without knowing her medical history and health details, but the average life expectancy for someone who gets Parkinson's at your mother's age is about 72 years.
- The ave age of diagnosis of someone with Parkinsons is around 65 and the ave lifespan prognosis is 20 years. If the age of onset is younger then it may be longer. The overall prognosis depends on comorbidities or coexisting problems. Treatment shoud be on a positive outlook, healthy diet and lifestyle as much as possible. Also daily exercising to prevent stiffness. Use of physical, occupational and speech therapy There are a lot of new medications these days to control symptoms.
