Are you having any Parkinson’s symptoms? If you have, it is good to know that you are not alone. This is because the disease has been found to be present in millions of people around the globe. However, despite its growing recognition, there are still those who don’t have any idea what this neurological disorder is and how it affects their brain. While no cures have ever been developed for Parkinson’s disease, there are treatments available to help alleviate some of the symptoms and to ensure that the sufferer gets better as he or she progresses through the disease.
One of the most common manifestations of Parkinson’s symptoms is wobbling, often of an uneven tempo, which occurs in one side of the body while remaining relatively stable on the other side. These tremors are more frequent in the morning or during periods of activity and tend to become worse during late afternoons or in the evenings. In addition to the wobbling, other symptoms include rigidity of the legs and difficulty in walking, both of which occur on one side of the body. The presence of these two symptoms on one side of the body does not necessarily mean that a person possesses Parkinson’s disease, but only that the disease has progressed to a certain stage.
Patients experience a decrease in their ability to hold on to activities, to control movement and to speak. As the disease progresses, the problems that take place with speech and movement may increase in both volume and difficulty, causing difficulty performing simple tasks such as using the toilet or getting dressed. In addition, some symptoms may increase in severity, prompting patients to become unable to perform daily functions on one hand and even on the other hand, causing the person to become depressed and anxious. In order to help ease some of these debilitating symptoms, medication may be prescribed to help reduce involuntary movements.
When it comes to the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, there are two main groups. One group consists of uncontrollable rigidity, which causes difficulty with bowel movements and sitting up straight. Controlling this type of non-motor symptom is often a difficult feat for patients. The other group consists of uncontrollable shaking, which can cause the trembling of the arms and legs, and eventually the entire body. These tremors, however, are not due to Parkinson’s and can easily be treated with medications.
Parkinson’s symptoms may include rigidity of the cerebrum, also called calcarea carbonica. This area of the brain controls muscle tone. Parkinson’s disease causes the degeneration of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the cerebrum and causes the tremor, which results in stiffening of muscles, including those in the neck, face, and hands. The symptoms in the other non-motor part of the brain, the basal ganglia, do not directly affect muscle tone.
To help ease Parkinson’s symptoms, your doctor may prescribe certain medications. These may include mood stabilizers or antidepressants. These medications help your brain function properly by regulating chemicals like dopamine. However, these medicines cannot cure the disease. They simply allow you to function better so that you can learn how to live with it, with the help of psychological and behavioral counseling.
The first treatment options for Parkinson’s symptoms and tremor include therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy treats the disease through controlling the patient’s emotions, focusing on what behaviors are causing the tremor, and changing the patient’s thought processes. Relaxation techniques can help ease your mind. Your doctor and psychologist can help you find ways to cope with both early symptoms and the disease itself.
Surgery, if your doctor feels that your condition warrants it, can give your tremor a second life. However, it should always be the last resort. Surgery does not cure the disease; it only aids in managing it. With your doctor’s help, you can slowly overcome your tremor and learn to live with it.
