Parkinson's Disease
By: Mason Kucharski
What The Disease Is
How Bad The Disease Can Get
Normally, the disease doesn’t get much worse than your movement symptoms. The neurons die out, and your movement disorders are minor. But some cases get very serious.
Some people can’t move at all! They have to be supported by others.
Some people can end up needing medical attention every DAY because the effects are so bad.
Some have tremors all the time in their hands. Sometimes it's to the point were they can't even FEED themselves.Some Of The Causes
Lead
Cyanide
Carbon Monoxide
Other Facts
Beginning To End
WARNING SIGNS
Sometimes the Warning signs are as simple as a tremor in your hand. Some can be as complex as you flailing your limbs around. Sometimes you just breakdown and fall over. You can’t move at all. Either way, it’s the weakest spot in your nervous system that tends to go first. If it’s your arm, you can’t move your arm as well, if it’s your leg, you can’t move your leg as well. You will live with Parkinson’s for the rest of your life.
TARGET POPULATION
It’s been said that at least a million American Citizens are living with Parkinson’s. And not all of them are elders. Some of them could be as young as eighteen.
CURE?
There is no treatment or cure yet for Parkinson’s. It is incurable at this moment in time.
LONGEVITY
Most people live as long as they would without Parkinson’s. You can still live like any other civilized human being, you just can’t move as well.
