What Happened

Prajakta More noticed a hand tremor at 38, which she initially dismissed. Over a decade, Parkinson's disease progressed, causing stiffness, slowness, and difficulty with daily tasks. Young-onset Parkinson's typically affects people in their late 30s, decades earlier than usual. After medication became less effective, causing motor fluctuations and involuntary movements, she received advanced surgical treatment. Doctors now help manage her condition.
