Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease]

Also called: Paralysis
agitans, Shaking palsy
Parkinson's disease is a disorder that affects nerve
cells, or neurons, in a part of the brain that controls muscle movement. In
Parkinson's, neurons that make a chemical called dopamine die or do not work
properly. Dopamine normally sends signals that help coordinate your movements.
No one knows what damages these cells.
Symptoms of Parkinson's disease may include

Trembling of hands, arms, legs, jaw and face
Stiffness of the
arms, legs and trunk
Slowness of movement
Poor balance and coordination

As symptoms get worse, people with the disease may have trouble walking,
talking or doing simple tasks. They may also have problems such as depression,
sleep problems or trouble chewing, swallowing or speaking.

Parkinson's
usually begins around age 60, but it can start earlier. It is more common in men
than in women. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease. A variety of medicines
sometimes help symptoms dramatically.
