12 duets to help find a cure for Parkinson’s
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2006, aged 48. I thought I was just getting
old when my friends noticed first symptoms. As with most people, when they
are told they have early-onset
Parkinson’s, I would not believe my diagnosis. In the meantime I turned sixty
and have finally come to accept it.
Parkinson’s disease (Pd) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central
nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The symptoms
generally come on slowly over time. Early
in the disease, most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and
difficulty with walking. Thinking and behavioral problems may also occur.
Dementia becomes common in the
advanced stages of the disease. Depression and anxiety are also common,
occurring in more than a third of people with Pd. Other symptoms include
sensory, sleep, and emotional problems. One couldn’t ask for more in any
disease.
