Guest author Dr. Johannes Heimann

Dr. med. Johannes Heimann was a gynecologist and obstetrician during his career and has been diagnosed with Parkinson's for several years. In various Parkinson's forums he goes deeply, often also humorously, into the numerous questions of the members and regularly hits the nerve of the community with his language and choice of topics.

In “Heimann clears up” we want to break the boundaries of the forums and make his postings accessible to a wider public.

Please always keep in mind that this is not a medical advisor and certainly does not want to or cannot replace the consultation of your treating doctor.

Rather, we want to lift the curtain behind the medical terms a little and help you better classify your symptoms and treatment options.
