Published on Jul 01 2010, in the categories: parkinson
In adding, there are other secondary and nonmotor symptoms that affect a lot of people and are increasingly recognized by doctors as essential to treating Parkinson’s.

Each person that suffers from Parkinson’s will feel the symptoms differently. For many of the people that suffer from Parskinson’s have problem with tremor while others have problems with the balance. For example, for some people the disease advance very fast while for others not.
Here are some Parskinson’s disease symptoms:
Primary Motor symptoms:
-Resting tremor- about 70 percent of people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease experience a slight tremor in the early phase of the disease. Some people feel this tremor on hands or foot, on one side of the body or less commonly in the jaw or face. The Parkinson’s tremor usually appear when a person’s muscles are relaxed, that’s the reason why it’s called “resting tremor”. This means that the affected body part shake when it’s not doing effort.
-Bradykinesia (Slow Movement)- this phenomenon appears when a person have trouble with the movement. In addition to slow movements a person that suffer from Bradykinesia will probably have incomplete movement. People that have this disease should walk with sort, shuffling steps.
-Rigidity- this disease cause inflexibility in the muscles. Muscles normally stretch while you are move, and then relax while they are at rest. In rigidity, the muscle tone of an affected limb is constantly inflexible and does not relax, sometimes resulting in a decreased range of motion.
- Postural Instability (Impaired Balance and Coordination)- People that suffer from Parkinson’s experience instability when standing impaired coordination and balance. These symptoms combined with other symptoms such as Bradykinesia amplify the chance of falling. You can’t do abrupt movements or making turn if you suffer from this illness.
I have read here the secondary motor symptoms. Here are a list with the Parkinson’s Disease symptoms, but not all the people that have this disease will experience one of the below.
- Dystonia
- Fatigue
- Impaired gross motor coordination
- Akathisia
- Loss of facial expression
- Difficulty swallowing and many more. You can read all of these symptoms on this website and you can also read a lot more of this disease.

Here are the nonmotor symptoms:
- pain
- sleep disturbances
- constipation
- fear or anxiety
- memory difficult and slowed thinking<

I have read here that nowadays there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease. There are a lot of medications provide dramatic relief from the symptoms.
All in all, if you feel on of the Parkinson’s disease symptoms go and see a doctor and ask him to give you some advices and medications to make you feel better.
