Weekly Blog Posts!

Hi! Last week I focused on the risk factor of family history.
This week I would like to focus on the risk factor of age.



Currently, age is the greatest risk factor of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease usually develops in those who are around the age period of their late fifties, through early sixties.

Hey, everyone! Thanks for joining me for another weekly blog post about Parkinson's disease.

I think that I would like to talk to you all about how a family history of Parkinson's can increase the risk of development.

Normally having one or more relative in your family with PD, can increase the risk of development.

Hello, welcome back and thanking for viewing my weekly blog posts about Parkinson's Disease.

Last week I focused on the effects that Parkinson's has on a patients body.

This week I would like to give you some general information about the prognosis of Parkinson's.

Currently there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but even though there's no cure, Parkinson's patients can still live a typically healthy/ active life. Parkinson's is not a fatal illness, but the disease's progression will eventually leave a patient completely debilitated.

Hello, everyone! I'm very sorry for the delay on the weekly blog posts about Parkinson's disease. I gladly want to let you know that I'm back to post more information, and to make everyone more aware of Parkinson's disease.

This week I would like to focus on the effect that Parkinson's has on a patients body.

Some of the effects of Parkinson's involve brain, where it creates a shortage in the brain signaling chemical dopamine.  It effects the body physically, by effecting a patients ability to control initiation, speed, and smoothness of motion. Parkinson's also effects the body mentally by increasing the risk of depression.
