💫 PARKINSON'S DISEASE 💫

👉Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement.

👉 Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand.

👉 Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.

💥The Stages of Parkinson's:

👉Uncontrollable shaking and tremors.
👉Slowed movement (bradykinesia)
👉Balance difficulties and eventual problems standing up.
👉Stiffness in limbs.

💥 Signs and Symptoms :

👉Early signs
Here are some early signs of Parkinson’s disease:

🌟 Movement:
There may be a tremor in the hands.

🌟Coordination: A reduced sense of coordination and balance can cause people to drop items they are holding. They may be more likely to fall.

🌟Gait: The person’s posture may change, so that they lean forward slightly, as if they were hurrying. They may also develop a shuffling gait.

🌟Facial expression: This can become fixed, due to changes in the nerves that control facial muscles.

🌟Voice: There may be a tremor in the voice, or the person may speak more softly than before.

🌟Handwriting: This may become more cramped and smaller.

🌟Sense of smell: A loss of sense of smell can be an early sign.

🌟Sleep problems: These are a feature of Parkinson’s, and they may be an early sign. Restless legs may contribute to this.

👉 Other common symptoms include:

🌟 Mood changes
🌟Depression
🌟Difficulty chewing
🌟Swallowing
🌟Problems with urination
🌟Constipation
🌟Skin problems
🌟Sleep problems

💥Causes and risk factors :

👉 Low dopamine levels:
Dopamine plays a role in sending messages to the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. Low dopamine levels can make it harder for people to control their movements.

As dopamine levels fall in a person with Parkinson’s disease, their symptoms gradually become more severe.

👉 Low norepinephrine levels:
Norepinephrine, another neurotransmitter, is important for controlling many automatic body functions, such as the circulation of the blood.

In Parkinson’s disease, the nerve endings that produce this neurotransmitter die. This may explain why people with Parkinson’s disease experience not only movement problems but also fatigue, constipation, and orthostatic hypotension, when blood pressure changes on standing up, leading to light-headedness.

👉 Lewy bodies:
A person with Parkinson’s disease may have clumps of protein in their brain known as Lewy bodies. Lewy body dementia is a different condition, but it has links with Parkinson’s disease.

👉 Genetic factors:
Sometimes, Parkinson’s disease appears to run in families, but it is not always hereditary. Researchers are trying to identify specific genetic factors that may lead to Parkinson’s disease, but it appears that not one but a number of factors are responsible.

For this reason, they suspect that a combination for genetic and environmental factors may lead to the condition.

Possible environmental factors could include exposure to toxins, such as pesticides, solvents, metals, and other pollutants.

👉 Autoimmune factors:
Scientists reported in JAMA in 2017 that they had found evidence of a possible genetic link between Parkinson’s disease and autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In 2018, researchers investigating health records in Taiwan found that people with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) had a 1.37-higher chance of also having Parkinson’s disease than people without ARD.

💥 Treatment :
👉Levodopa
The most effective Parkinson's disease medication, is a natural chemical that passes into your brain and is converted to dopamine. Levodopa is combined with carbidopa (Lodosyn), which protects levodopa from early conversion to dopamine outside your brain.

💥 Life expectancy :
👉According to research, on average, people with Parkinson's can expect to live almost as long as those who don't have the disorder. While the disease itself isn't fatal, related complications can reduce life expectancy by 1 to 2 years.
