Do anyone know about Parkinson Diesease?

One of my close relative had this and that uncle is no more now.He was working in qatar and sent back to India from his company when they noticed the early stages of parkinsons.I have seen his hands trembling always and he became feeble and weak day by day in his last stage. Iam sorry to know that your father in law is suffering with this disease.See that he never get emotionally upset.I think its much better to get the advice from doctors in taking care of him.God is always with us ! take care.

Parkinson's disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to. When you have Parkinson’s, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you want to. Parkinson’s is progressive, which means it gets worse over time. But usually this happens slowly, over a period of many years. And there are good treatments that can help you live a full life. What causes Parkinson's disease? No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging and poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is inherited. How is Parkinson's disease diagnosed? Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and your past health and will do a neurological exam. A neurological exam includes questions and tests that show how well your nerves are working. For example, your doctor will watch how you move, check your muscle strength and reflexes, and check your vision. He or she will also ask questions about your mood. There are no lab tests that can help your doctor know that you have Parkinson’s. But you may have tests to help your doctor rule out other diseases that could be causing your symptoms. For example, you might have an MRI to look for signs of a stroke or brain tumor.

Parkinson's disease, from what i've read before from some medical magazines, it is a disorder from the central nervous system where the patient's motor activities decreases. his ability to control his movements is lessened. and more complicated cases causes language problems. to some surgical procedures should be done. some, medicinal tabs are prescribed but physical therapy i guess is required for them. there are exercises to be done for the patients motor activities. basically, that was the little stuff i know about the disease, maybe soon when i graduate id be able to tell you more about this disease.=)

It is a degeneraive disorder of central nervous system, and it needs the advice of an expert of neurology to see what the stage is and how much serious is the matter.He must be having tremors and muscular problems as he disease shows all those signs.Wish that he gets well soon.

i have heard about this diesease and it is related with the nerves,one of my aunt's brother-in-law has this diesease,i dont have much knowledge about it

The cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown. Many researchers believe that several factors combined are involved: free radicals, accelerated aging, environmental toxins, and genetic predisposition. It may be that free radicals—unstable and potentially damaging molecules that lack on electron—are involved in the degeneration of dopamine-producing cells. Free radicals add an electron by reacting with nearby molecules in a process called oxidation, which can damage nerve cells. Chemicals called antioxidants normally protect cells from oxidative stress and damage. If antioxidative action fails to protect dopamine-producing nerve cells, they could be damaged and, subsequently, Parkinson's disease could develop. Dysfunctional antioxidative mechanisms are associated with older age as well, suggesting that the acceleration of age-related changes in dopamine production may be a factor. Exposure to an environmental toxin, such as a pesticide, that inhibits dopamine production and produces free radicals and oxidation damage may be involved.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder with degeneration of the nerve cells. its cause is unknown. It shows tremors ,rigidity ,fatigue, difficulty rising from sitting position, masklike face with decreased blinking of eyes.quiet monotone speech, depression, increased salivation, excessive sweating, constipation... It is treated with levodopa .. Provide him a safe environment.. see a therapist. and tell your father in law about his disease so he can cooperate with you for his therapies. Be patient this is not easy.
