Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease happens to be a chronic condition that has its effects on both the neurological system as well as the body elements that are under the control of the nervous system. Apparently, the symptoms emerge gradually, as the initial sign could not be more than a slight tremor in just one hand. Although tremors are typical, the disorder has the capacity to make the person stiff, thereby making the movement slow.

In the early stages of Parkinson’s disease, the face could have little to no expression at all. The person might not swing arms while walking and the speech could become slurred or dull. The fact is that as this illness advances, the symptoms get worse.

Regardless of the fact that there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, medicines and proper care under an expert's supervision may greatly reduce the symptoms. There might be possibilities where the doctor may advise a surgery so as to control specific brain areas, thereby relieving the patient from discomfort.

As expected, the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can vary. It may happen that the early symptoms even go unnoticed because of being negligible. Even though symptoms begin affecting limbs on both sides, they usually start on one side of the body and continue to be severe there.

Dr. Abhijit Kumar Kohat suggests that for the purpose of monitoring the condition consistently, one might require frequent consultations with a specialist. A care plan, according to him must be agreed upon and it should be evaluated on a frequent basis as it will detail out the therapies needed today and the ones required in the future.
