pardb0i0f0fs24 Living with a degenerative, chronic disease is not easy. The disease can have multiple symptoms and does not present itself in the same in those who have the disease. In one person the disease may come on slowly over years. In another the disease may progress quickly. One person may have tremors as the major symptom for the disease and for another person the major symptom may be unstable balance and uncoordinated walking. One person may have onset of Parkinson's at age 55 and another at age 70. The disease will eventually make it difficult to do daily tasks and by the time individuals have had Parkinson's for 20 years they are either in an assisted living situation or they have died. In the end most of those with Parkinson's will develop cognitive issues such as confusion, loss of ability to be organized, or being forgetful.par
f1par
f0 When the symptoms first cause the individual to seek a diagnosis, they may have to endure many tests including x-rays and brain scans, blood tests and other laboratory tests in order to rule out other conditions because there is no laboratory test to take that will diagnose Parkinsonrquote s disease.par
f1par
f0 Individuals with Parkinson's will lose not only control over movements but over their sense of smell, and cognitive abilities. The disease will rob you of not only your physical abilities, but the loss of cognitive abilities too. par
par
Your doctor may refer you to a psychiatrist if you are depressed or if you are having difficulty adjusting to your diagnosis, or if you have a high level of anxiety. Not everyone suffers from depression or anxiety. Psychiatrist may use different tools to help you including psychotherapy, group or private counseling, and medications.par

f0 A high-fiber diet and consuming adequate amounts of food can help with the symptom of constipation. Ask your doctor about taking psllium or stool softeners to help you regulate your bowel movements. Make sure you are increasing your fluids when exercising or when the weather is hot. If you are older than 65 or for other reasons are not able to tolerate large amounts of raw fruit and vegetables, try eating dried fruits, prune juice, canned fruits, and soft cooked vegetables. Never rush to introduce fiber to your diet, increase the amount of fiber slowly. If you start off eating too much fiber all at once, you will risk stomach cramps, and excess gas. Whenever you take bran, remember to drink plenty of water. It is also important to have regular exercise to avoid constipation.par
Most individuals will have improved symptoms when they take prescribed medications.par

f0 It is important to continue your daily activities as long as possible. It is important to remain mobile and active as much as possible. If you are able to do something don't limit yourself or restrict your activities. Physical conditioning can be maintained or even reestablished when you exercise on a regular basis or participate in physical therapy. Even walking for a minimum of 30 minutes a day can be beneficial. Start out with a short walk and work up to 30 minutes daily. If you are having difficulty with balance or you feel that it may be unsafe to do certain exercises seek the advise of your doctor or a rehabilitation specialist, or physical therapist.par

f0 There are many professionals who are able to assist in maintaining an active and functional lifestyle for as long as possible. Professionals such as your medical doctor and staff, a rehabilitation specialist, the physical therapist, occupational therapist, and your speech therapist.par

pardb0i0f0fs24 The symptoms of Parkinson's disease are caused by a group of specific brain cells called neurons that slowly and progressively become injured and degenerate and die. The symptoms caused by this degenerative process cause the major symptoms of Parkinson's including tremors, rigidity and stiffness, gait irregularities, and balance and coordination problems. The tremors are involuntary trembling of your limbs. Rigidity refers to stiffness of muscles, and Akinesia is the lack of movement or slowness in starting or maintaining a movement. Postural instability is the characteristic bending of the body, associated with difficulty in maintaining balance or disturbances in gait.par
f1par
f0 Early signs of Parkinson's may be mild and slow to progress. The tremor or shaking of a limb is perhaps the most well known sign of Parkinson's. Another common early sign of Parkinson's is the slowed motion. When someone is walking and the movement has become slowed the person may shuffle or take short steps. Rigid muscles will cause decreased movement in joints and a feeling of pain causing decreased range of motion. The disease may cause your posture to become stooped, which may throw off your balance. You may experience a loss of automatic movement such as blinking, smiling, and swinging your arms back and forth at your sides. Some individuals with Parkinson's disease develop a fixed star with unblinking eyes. Some individuals will cease to gesture while they speak as they used to do. Your speech may change such as speaking softer, or more rapidly, or even in a monotone. You may slur your words, stutter, or hesitate before speaking. Dementia is another symptom of Parkinson's disease and occurs in the alter stages of the disease. Patients will start to lose mental clarity and memory.par
f1par
f0 Not everyone will experience the same signs and symptoms or even experience them at the same point in the disease. There are major symptoms that most patients experience but patients do not necessary experience the major symptoms. The lack of consistency in symptoms is one reason why Parkinsonrquote s disease is difficult to diagnose.par
pardkeepns2sb240sa60lang3081bif1fs28 Article 5par
pardlang1023b0i0f0fs24 The four main symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are tremor, or a trembling in the hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; a rigidity, or stiffness of the trunk and of the limbs; slowness of movement; and lastly instability of posture, or impaired balance and coordination. As the disease progresses individuals may have difficulty walking, talking, or doing simple tasks. par
par
At the onset of Parkinson's the symptoms are subtle and they occur very slowly over time. The disease may progress quickly for some and not for others. The shaking, and tremors will begin to interfere with the performance of tasks over time. Other than the four main symptoms the other symptoms of Parkinson's disease are depression, difficulty when swallowing or chewing, difficulty speaking, having difficulty urinating, constipation, skin issues, and sleep disturbances.par
par
There is no known cure for Parkinson's but there are medications that can be used to bring relief from the symptoms. The most common drug therapy is levodopa combined with carbidopa. Other medicines used are anticholinergics, bromocriptine, pramipexole, ropinirole, rasagiline, and amantadine.par
par
When medications do not relieve the symptoms surgery may be necessary. There is a therapy called deep brain stimulation (DBS) used to decrease the involuntary movements and to alleviate fluctuations of symptoms and to help reduce the tremors, slowness of movements, and any issues with walking.par

pardb0i0f0fs24 There are several risk factors for Parkinson's that people should be aware of, they include age because the risk for Parkinson's increases with age. Heredity is another risk factor for Parkinson's. If you have a family member or a close relative who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease your risk increases by 5% for each family member. Another risk factor is sex; men are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than women. Exposure to toxins on an ongoing basis slightly increases your risks especially herbicides and pesticides.par
f1par
f0 It is important to seek medical advice and diagnosis for any symptom that has you concerned because you are not only getting a diagnosis for possible Parkinson's disease but you will be ruling out other diseases as well. Early diagnosis means early treatment and early treatment can delay or better manage your disease which can have a positive impact on future years with the disease.par
f1par
f0 Complications can come as a result of the disease itself as it progresses or it may be as a result of medications for the treatment of the disease. Some of the side effects of the medications prescribed for Parkinson's disease include twitching or making jerking movements of either the arms or the legs, hallucinations, sleepiness, and also a drop of blood pressure when standing up rapidly. This can be dangerous. par
f1par
f0 Your doctor should be monitoring any side effects you experience when taking medications. Remember to tell your doctor immediately if you have any side effects from taking medications. Your doctor can adjust your medication dosage, or switch you to another medication in order to avoid the unwanted side effects.par

pardlang1023b0i0f0fs24 Your doctor will help you to devise a treatment plan to manage your Parkinson's disease. Your input in this plan is necessary as part of the treatment may be lifestyle changes or home remedies of which yourquote re input will be valuable. You want to choose a treatment plan that will contain the least amount of possible side effects. Parts of the treatment plan such as lifestyle changes won't look good if they are adhered to only on paper. You have to make a commitment to everyone on the treatment plan. Having a treatment plan that you helped design will encourage you to stick to the plan and make living your life with this disease called Parkinson's easier. Your plan may include healthy eating, exercise, avoiding safety issues especially falls, and being able to do daily tasks with a minimal of frustration and discomfort.par
par
Food is your body's energy and keeping a good energy level is critical to maintaining an active life for as long as possible. You should eat a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of raw fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Make sure that you increase fiber slowly and up your water intake at the same time. Your doctor may suggest taking a fiber supplement such as psyllium powder, Metamucil, or Citrucel. Make sure you drink plenty of water with these supplements.par
par
Exercise is important to improve mental clarity, improve depression, and give you a better outlook on life. Because Parkinson's can affect your balance you need to be especially careful when exercising so you don't lose your balance and also to prevent falls. Tips for exercising and walking with care include taking your time and not trying to move too rapidly, strike the floor with your heel first and then your toe. Check your posture if you notice that you are shuffling when walking. Stand up straight with your head held high and her head over your hips. Your feet should be between eight and ten inches apart.par

Believe it or not there are some things that may make your life easier as you struggle to try to maintain daily activities in the face of this progressive disease.par
par
If you are having eating difficulties such as chewing or swallowing, if you are experiencing weight loss due to your eating problems it is important to ask a registered dietitian or a nutritionist for help with your diet. Eat smaller more frequent meals. Avoid crumbly fibrous food is you are already experiencing difficulty swallowing. When eating make sure that the environment is quiet and somewhere that you can relax during the meal. Eating while sitting in a high backed chair is better. When you suck on ice for a few minutes before a meal it may make swallowing easier for you. Drink an iced drink to aid your swallowing. It is also a good idea to add a little bit of liquid to your food in your mouth as a way to help with swallowing. Put a spoonful or forkful of food in your mouth and before swallowing take a sip of drink and then swallow.par
par
Stress can make your symptoms worse so do all you can to either avoid stress in your life or if that is not possible learn how to cope with the stress by learning some relaxation techniques. This may require reducing your work hours, retiring early, getting help with your finances or getting help with housework or lawn care.par
par
Gather your support system around you including your medical team, your family and friends. Especially right after you receive the diagnosis you will be emotional and will be able to lean on others until you have adjusted to the news.par
