What are the different stages of Parkinson's disease?

For more information on this topic, visit the Parkinson's Foundation website: www.parkinson.org/Understandi...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) impacts people in different ways. Not everyone will experience all the symptoms of Parkinson’s, and if they do, they won’t necessarily experience them in quite the same order or at the same intensity. There are typical patterns of progression in Parkinson’s disease that are defined in stages. Joseph Jankovic, MD discusses those patterns in terms of the forms and stags of Parkinson's disease.

My husband who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease for 2 years at the age of 63 had all his symptoms reversed with Ayurveda medicine from natural herbs centre . com after undergoing their Parkinson’s natural protocol. God Bless all Parkinson’s Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.

It is total suffering from Stage 2 onwards. This might help. Take Vitamin B1 to tackle jerking body, quivering mouth and tightening of toe muscles. For my case I usually take 2 tablets each time, once a week. There are times, seldom, I take 2 tablets each time twice a week.

[@symbyxbiome]

We are developing and researching the benefits of infrared laser therapy on the gut and back of neck - to assist with PD symptoms - stimulate the gut brain axis - and improve sleep, motor skills, mood, sense of smell and the very common gut issues associated with PD. The PDCare Laser is used 3 times a week for 20 minutes only - and is approved in Europe and Australia/NZ.

Parkinson’s, in and of itself, is not fatal. 80% of PD patients develop dementia, and that IS fatal. Unfortunately, some PD medications can cause cognitive impairment. I’m not a doctor, but I played one at home caring for my wife for over 17 years who had Parkinson’s, and later developed dementia.

[@zachtaylor5638]

I'm sorry to hear that about your wife. I was diagnosed fairly young (33) with severe obstructive sleep apnea. I'm not overweight and it does not run in my family, neither does PD. However, a year after my OBSA diagnosis, I've noticed internal tremors, trouble handwriting and foggy cognitive ability. Also, staring off into the distance, and not really wanting to socialize with anyone other than close friends(maybe because I'm just getting older) These things are what led me here, where I am trying to learn what early onset PD symptoms people have noticed. My great grandmother died at the age of 78 from dimentia. I'm trying to piece this all together. My diet isn't perfect but I would say it is good. I guess in the end it doesn't matter, there is no cure for PD and only treatment. So I guess just wait until things become bad, like loosing my balance often, or not being able to move very well, before going to see a doctor.

[@htunlin2000]

@@bobscott7253 What are the most dangerous foods to stay away from that makes PD worse? I hope they don't include my occasional pleasures (like oatmeal-raisin cookies and ice cream) Appreciate your kindness.

[@bobscott7253]

@@htunlin2000 Thank you for your curiosity for inquiring that I may supply you with more information that could be beneficial. Here’s an “Actual Factual.” If you have Parkinson’s remember, you die WITH Parkinson’s, not FROM it. In very advanced cases, difficulty in swallowing can cause patients to aspirate food into the lungs thereby leading to pneumonia or other pulmonary conditions. Also, 80% of PD patients develop dementia, which is fatal. As for your question regarding what foods you should eliminate in your diet, no artificial sweeteners. If you are a soda drinker, STOP IT! They are full of toxins, and one of the worst things you can put into your body, ESPECIALLY, if you have PD. Water is the best drink on the planet you can put in body. It hydrates every cell and lubricants the joints. If you are a smoker, QUIT! I don’t have to tell you cigarettes are toxic and full of carcinogens. Of course eating organic (which is expensive) is the best way to go. Eating foods that are rich in antioxidants are also very beneficial. Dark leafy veggies, fruits like blueberries and cranberries are especially good. Grains, nuts, dark chocolate, and kidney beans are beneficial. Consider your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin.” Consider supplementing with calcium to help maintain strong bones, to minimize breaks from falls, oh yes, falls are inevitable. Here’s a tip that really helped my wife with her walking. Get a song in your mind and walking to the beat or rhythm will help your stride and gait. It helps with “freezing.” Familiarize yourself with obstacles around the house, this will help you negotiate your movements. Exercising is very important. I can’t stress that enough. The old saying, “use it or loose it,” should not be ignored. Any exercise is better than none in preventing joint stiffness. Just stretching can be beneficial. If you play an instrument, that can be relaxing and relieves stress. ***Learn to laugh more, laughter is a natural antidepressant and stress reliever*** Doing crossword puzzles can force the brain to focus and improve memory. Develop a routine, make it a habit….BE DILIGENT! As I’ve said before, I’m not a doctor, but I played one at home, and my wife’s neurologist was very impressed from the knowledge I gained from extensive research. HOWEVER, consult your doctor before starting any of what I’ve suggested. But, I truly believe starting this kind of regiment may slow down the progression of PD going from one stage to the next. I’m not going to sugar coat it, but my heart goes out to you for the many challenges and frustrations that lie ahead. Be prepared for mood swings, usually caused by some medications, but recognizing these aspects will allow you to better cope with your unfortunate disease. Lean on the LORD for strength and endurance, and He will get you through this. I hope I’ve given you a lot of food for thought, and yes, an occasional cookie or ice cream won’t hurt…..unless of course you’re also diabetic. If you’re not, you deserve to treat yourself. God bless

[@htunlin2000]

@@bobscott7253 Thanks for the great advice from your personal experience. I'm going to print it and put it on the refrigerator door as a daily reminder. What's the most scary is my throat gets lazy and sometimes I have to consciously remind myself to swallow or I start choking on my own saliva seeping into my windpipe, causing severe coughing.

I was not aware that my left hand was slightly tremouring, while at rest, until my family pointed it out, and stated I'd had it for at least ten years. Now I'm 81, and not aware of any worse tremour, My doctor sent me to a specialist, who said i showed symptons of Parkinsons, but not enough to affect my driving. Having prescribed a drug, that MIGHT affect my driving, I decided to not take the drug, ( this was 4 months ago ) and my slight tremour of the left hand is not noticeable. During this period, I DID have a spell of Inner ear inbalance, which is also a lot better. I think I'll tough it out.

I don't have parkinsons D, that I know of I have chronic dysautonomia, autonomic nervousystem dysfunction. when I sit or stand fir more than five minutes, my blood pressure bottoms out. Many symptoms similar to parkinsons disease. I've not had a lot of help despite seeing cardiologists=3. None of which took my sitting standing blood pressure. Eventually my condition was realised ( Diagnosed) by an Angel GP. Even do, with all of the medications and life style modifications I'm still very sick daily. My father also had these symptoms for his entire life. No diagnosis. Poor guy. 😢 My diagnosis took 30 years my daily issues prior to fludro cortisone were. Slow drop in bp ( 5 to 10 minutes latent) 40 points. Visaul aura, misdiagnosed as Silent migraine or visaul + vestibular migraine. MAV And possible epilepsy. Due to the overriding symptom being semi loss of consciousness, who can only ramble like a drug affected drunk, gait and dizziness, walking and thinking with as much "brain ability" of a zombie. alziemers patient would be more apt. I also have muscle ticks and tremors It's a nightmare fir the patient and family who has to rescue you when you've lost awareness of where you are, who you are, and you have no warning as the dynptoms creep up slowly. Not all patients have slow progressing symptoms. But thise who do can be in daily danger. It horrible!!!. I feel privileged that I live in a country that has free medicine and have a great medical system and support to help live life with a disability. It's not a perfect system. If it was I'd have had a system where rare disease was easily recognised. Long covid has sadly shone a light on my rare disease as long covid is often ( Dysautonomia) Yes, yes it is We In the dysautinomia community were upset to think hundreds of thousands of people will now suffer with dyautinomia and have Drs and specialists not know what it was. Dysautonomia patients knew it!! We heard long covid stories snd knew emediately what it was. So very sad. I pray others do not have to wait for treatment. That Drs and specialists now see the signs and listen to their patients. Sending love to all who suffer daily chronic illness. God help us all!! 😢.

Va drs have no idea as to treatment. Never know about new medicines just keep prescribing the same meds. Try to tell them about all of boyfriends symptoms. Deaf ears. He can sleep 15 hrs each day, no energy just eats sleeps and si t s infront of tv. Tell the drs and no advice. Va needs help with their medical staff.
