Parkinson Disease, disorder of the nervous system that affects muscle control. You can tell Parkinsons Diesese usually by
trembling of the arms and legs, muscular rigidity, and poor balance, Parkinson disease is slowly progressive, and gets
worse over time. Eventually parkisons diesese can cause problems with walking or talking. Sometimes some people have difficulty
thinking. Physicians do not know how to cure Parkinson disease, but drug therapy or surgery may help some of the most
troubling symptoms. Parkinsons diese is named for British physician James Parkinson, who first described it in 1817.
In a report describing six patients, Parkinson(the guy) called the disorder paralysis agitans, Latin words that mean
shaking palsy.
The National Parkinson Foundation based in Miami, Florida, estimates that 1.5 million people in the United States are
affected with Parkinson disease, this may not be so acurate because some symptoms canbe mistaken for parkinsons when it is
really from something else. The diese affects people all over the earth, it is slightly more common in woman. Caucasians
have a higher incidence of the disease than people of other races. Around the age of 60 is when most people are
affected with it. About 105 cases have affectedc people with parkinsons about the age of 40. A rare for affects teenagers.
Parkinson disease may initially be mistaken for one or more of a group of nervous system diseases, together known as parkinsonism
(also known as Parkinson Plus diseases), all of them have certain symptoms in common. Pysicians have made a note that the
changing in the nervous system when having parkinsonism is different then wehn having parkinsons diesese.
