There are several medications that can help alleviate the effects of Parkinson’s disease, including clonidine, methotrexate, ataxia toxin potassium and amino acid L-carnitine. However, these medications do not stop Parkinson’s symptoms, and they can also have negative side effects on the body. When treating Parkinson’s, doctors look for medications that will either ease symptoms or prevent them from getting worse, as well as drugs that will maintain normal brain chemistry in patients with Parkinson’s. Drugs like carbidopa-levodopa or l-carnitine are often prescribed along with other medications to help patients with Parkinson’s symptoms.
The most common medication used to treat Parkinson’s is non-motor symptoms. These include shivering, rigidity, uncontrolled muscles, or involuntary movements. These symptoms are caused by dopamine depletion and result in a loss of muscle coordination. Other non-motor symptoms may include sweaty palms or uncontrollable shaking of the head. These symptoms are often confused with depression. Therefore, a doctor will often prescribe antidepressants to treat Parkinson’s if depression is ruled out.
The most severe manifestation of Parkinson’s is tremor, which can cause a great deal of difficulty in performing daily tasks. Tremor is typically seen in conjunction with rigidity and is difficult to control. Parkinson’s patients who do not pay close attention to subtle early symptoms of rigidity can easily end up becoming confused with Parkinson’s disease and later lose motor coordination altogether. Early symptoms can be recognized through unusual behavioral changes, such as rigidity, which can make a Parkinson’s patient appear restless or uncooperative. Other signs of Parkinson’s include excessive rigidity (e.g., holding a steering wheel too tightly), early wasting (which makes the eyes look older), poor grooming (unable to dress himself), tremors, and poor balance.
Parkinson’s symptoms may also include early fatigue and early bowel incontinence. Parkinson’s patients frequently complain that they cannot keep their hands above their heads. Also, there may be a loss of bladder control. In some cases, Parkinson’s disease can lead to early death through complications such as organ failure or even heart attack. Some people with Parkinson’s may have incontinence, which results in fecal incontinence which is involuntary and uncontrollable. This condition can result in severe emotional distress.
Another symptom of Parkinson’s disease progresses from one side of the body to another. This symptom is often referred to as secondary Parkinson’s disease. It usually begins in one side of the body and moves to the other side over time. Some examples include Parkinsonism developed in one side of the body and blindness developed in another. This symptom can have various causes, including genetics, aging, and Parkinson’s itself.
One of Parkinson’s symptoms, that is generally seen in people who develop the disease progresses from the brain to the spinal cord and then to the muscles and joints of the body. This part of Parkinson’s disease is referred to as motor coordination and is the result of brain cells communicating with each other. Motor coordination includes many physical functions such as walking, seeing, hearing, swallowing, chewing, and speaking.
The most common of Parkinson’s symptoms is tremor, which is difficulty with movement. Other Parkinson’s symptoms include rigidity (which can also cause fecal incontinence), both of which are indicators of Parkinson’s disease progressing to Parkinson’s rigid, and also symptoms of slowing of the nervous system (which can also cause fatigue, weakness, and a decreased sex drive). While these are the most common symptoms of Parkinson’s, there are other symptoms that can occur which are not mentioned here.
Parkinson’s disease is a complex disease that can progress from mild to moderate to severe. One of the best ways to help ease some of the symptoms is to get regular checkups with your doctor. Regular checkups can help your doctor determine if you are experiencing any of these complications and can help ease their severity.
