What is Parkinson’s Disease (PD)?

Imagine that Parkinson’s disease is like a trip where the brain’s way of talking to itself goes slightly wrong thus affecting the smoothness of body movement. The situation is analogous to some eminent envoys in the mind, dubbed dopamine-producing cells, opting for an elongated holiday leading to many different symptoms capable of really upsetting anything.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Symptoms and Signs:

Here are the key symptoms of Parkinson’s disease:

• Tremors:
  Sometimes your fingers or hands will start shaking uncontrollably as if they have their own minds.
• Bradykinesia:
  It seems like everything is in slow motion when you move around, and simple tasks turn into real challenges that take much longer than necessary.
• Rigidity:
  Sometimes the muscles seem to be as hard as wood, making it difficult to move easily and comfortably.
• Postural instability:
  Balancing yourself feels like walking on a tightrope without a safety net; hence, there is increased risk of tripping over or falling.
• Bradyphrenia:
  Thoughts become slower in pace, memory goes hide-and-seek and focusing on any one thing becomes like trying to hold onto a greased pig.
• Speech changes:
  Your voice may become softer words may get slurred or suddenly stop mid sentence as if they are going round about way like this
• Micrographia:
  The size of your handwriting can suddenly feel more like an elephant trying to fit into a matchbox with the letters getting smaller and crowded together on the page.
• Freezing:
  At times it feels as though you pressed pause on your own body’s remote control particularly when you are trying to commence an activity such as walking.

Common Fears & Concerns related to Parkinson’s Disease (PD):

• Movement becoming difficult:
  When individuals are concerned about their muscles operating out of their control, it becomes harder to smoothly move around and causes them to get shaky hands, stiff muscles, and move slowly that can make daily tasks difficult and reduce one’s independence.
• Drop-in Quality of Life:
  Concerns arise over general wellbeing in respect to the disease. This may make it more difficult to walk around, speak properly or enjoy activities they once used to do, lowering quality of life.
• The brain is clouding:
  There is apprehension about losing sharpness in thinking. Declining memory, difficulty focusing and fear of dementia mess up daily life and relationships a lot.
• Effects of med side effects:
  Some fears are popping up regarding the negative impact of medicines for managing symptoms related to Parkinson’s. These could cause strange motions, hallucinations or nausea/dizziness making it hard to feel good.
• Disease progressing before eyes:
  A feeling of anxiety sets in as they see the condition advancing gradually. They don’t know the extent at which things might worsen over time leaving them dependent and less capable of performing tasks independently.
• Loneliness among multitudes:
  The disease is such that one gets scared about being socially excluded by others. It hurts when tremors or speech problems are noticed by other people because it then becomes harder for an individual with such continuous clinical symptoms not only to participate but also feel sad and lonely while doing so.
• Financial implications:
  They worry about how much money will be required in order to manage Parkinson’s disease. Counting doctor appointments as well as special care into this process adds up quickly. Additionally, they may not have as much money coming in from work; this creates even more stress about finances overall.
• Tense relationship ties:
  Dread creeps in on how the illness will change relationships with loved ones. Feeling like a burden or having a role shift can put a strain on emotional bonds with family, friends, and caregivers.
• Desperation without a cure:
  They feel uneasy because Parkinson’s is incurable. It is hard not knowing which treatments might help or what the future holds—leading to feelings of hopelessness and frustration.
• Losing Independence:
  They are worried that they may become too dependent on others during the progression of the disease. This would mean requiring more support for daily activities, thus making them feel like they lose control and may need to depend on others even more in the coming years.
