10 Early Warning Signs of Parkinson’s Disease

PD is the fastest growing neurological disorder. It progresses over time, hindering a person’s independence through increasing complications, and impacts the loved ones of people with Parkinson’s as well.

It is a disease of the central nervous system that touches almost every aspect of daily living, including: movement, mood, speech, eating and drinking, sleep, and cognitive changes and progresses over time.

Following are the 10 early warning signs of Parkinson’s Disease: • Tremor or Shaking • Small Handwriting • Loss of smell • Trouble Sleeping • Trouble Moving or Walking • Constipation • A Soft or Low Voice • Masked Face • Dizziness or Fainting • Stooped or Hunched Over
