An early parkinson's patient

Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:29 am Post subject: An early parkinson's patient?

Early parkinson's patient fully aware that the early stage of PD patient does not accept that he has symptoms of PD even have been diagnosed by doctors.. He treats it as an aging process as the result the patient end up with Parkinson's progression. Besides Parkinson's has symptoms with other related diseases and some doctors wrongly diagnosed as an age aging process. I am one of the sufferer's. It takes me four years to be treated as Parkinson's patient. I am fortunate that my PD is slow progression.as I do daily exercises far ahead for changes of my body.movement. The late Parkinson's treatment aggravates the sickness further and could not to be normal and enjoy good quality life. Therefore a good start to tackling health issues is to understand the diseases themselves. As an early PD patient I experience emotional disorders - anxiety,depression, apathy, uncertainties and stress. Do you experience the above?


People with early Parkinson's disease report a higher than anticipated development or worsening of hallucinations, sleepiness, and swelling. Researchers have identified factors that make people more likely to develop these problems, according to a study published in the July 10, 2007, issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

It is not uncommon for PD patient to be initially misdiagnosed. A lot are diagnosed with essential tremor first. Others are diagnosed with anxiety or depression because of their tremors. Others are told "it is all in their head". Some are referred to a rhematologist first because they don't swing their arms, and others are even given steroid injections. Eventually, the symptoms progress and patients eventually see a neurologist. In general, if you are having significant symptoms of PD, it is best to have it treated with medications. Life will be much more liveable with it. Yours,_________________Hubert H. Fernandez
