World Parkinson’s Day takes place on 11th April each year. It is an opportunity to unite all those affected by Parkinson's across the globe to highlight the impact Parkinson's Disease has on individuals, families and communities. It celebrates the amazing work that people with Parkinson's do and the strength they have, and those that are helping to raise awareness of the disease.
As there is no cure for Parkinson’s, this is an annual opportunity to raise awareness and much needed funds to support people with living with the condition, to improve quality of life and to ensure that people live better for longer.
Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition. This means that it causes problems in the brain and gets worse over time. Around 153,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK..... it is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.
There are over 40 symptoms of Parkinson’s, but everyone’s experience is different. Not everyone will get the same symptoms, people will have different experiences of how their condition changes or progresses.
The common symptoms of Parkinson’s include:
There is also currently no definitive test for diagnosing Parkinson’s. A Parkinson’s specialist will take a detailed medical history and examine you, and may ask you to complete written and verbal tests, movement tests and have a general examination.
If you think you, or a loved one, may have Parkinson's, it's important that you speak to a health professional about your symptoms. Sometimes the condition can take years to progress to a point where it has a real impact on daily life, so it is vital to speak with a GP as soon as possible to help get an early diagnosis.
L'article souligne très justement que les problèmes de santé mentale, y compris l'anxiété et la dépression, sont des symptômes courants de la maladie de Parkinson. C'est un point essentiel, car la gestion de ces aspects psychologiques est tout aussi cruciale que celle des symptômes physiques pour améliorer la qualité de vie des patients. Étant donné que l'expérience de chaque personne est unique et que la maladie est progressive, il est vital de pouvoir identifier et adresser ces défis émotionnels spécifiques. Pour ceux qui s'interrogent sur la présence de symptômes dépressifs, il existe des ressources comme un test d'évaluation de la dépression qui peuvent offrir une première orientation et encourager la recherche d'un soutien professionnel.

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from AKANNI HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKANNI HERBAL Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51…
My Partner, who is 66 years old, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease last year. We noticed that he was experiencing hallucinations, slow movement, disturbed sleep, and twitchy hands and legs when at rest. He had to stop taking pramipexole (Sifrol), carbidopa/levodopa, and 2 mg of biperiden because of side effects. Our family doctor recommended a PD-5 treatment from naturalherbscentre. com, which my husband has been undergoing for several months now. Exercise has been very beneficial. He has shown great improvement with the treatment thus far. He is more active now, does more, and feels less apathetic. He has more energy and can do more activities in a day than he did before. As far as tremors I observe a progress,…
