The Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor function. It is most commonly diagnosed around age 60, but this can vary greatly. Symptoms of Parkinson’s generally develop slowly, but the disease affects every individual differently. Early symptoms may go unnoticed and generally begin on one side of the body. As the disease progresses, symptoms become more pronounced and can affect both sides of the body.  

The most visible signs of Parkinson’s disease include:

• Tremor at rest, shaking, and pill-rolling tremor

• Slowed movement, known as bradykinesia

• Muscle stiffness and rigidity

• Impaired posture or balance

• Changes in speech and handwriting

• Loss of automatic movements, such as smiling and blinking

In addition to these signs that are most noticeable, there are other symptoms that can make daily life challenging, including loss of sense of smell, cognitive impairment, and sleep disorders. If your loved one is struggling with everyday tasks due to the effects of Parkinson’s disease, home care from Visiting Angels St. George can help.

Trusted Parkinson's Care in St. George

In the early stages, the symptoms of Parkinson’s are generally mild and do not interfere with daily routines and activities.

In the advanced stages, these tasks can become impossible.
