Experts on Parkinson’s Disease

The symptoms and indicators of Parkinson's diseasevary from person to person. Early warning indicators can be subtle and go unnoticed.

Parkinson's disease is a movement illness that affects the nerve system. 
The first signs may be a barely visible tremor in only one hand.Tremors are common, however they're frequently accompanied by stiffness or decreased mobility.

Symptoms 

The symptoms and indicators of Parkinson's diseasevary from person to person. Early warning indicators can be subtle and go unnoticed. Even when symptoms start on one side of your body and spread to the other, they usually start on one side and proceed to the other.
1.Muscle rigidity is a problem.  Muscle stiffness can strike at any time and in any portion of your body. Stiff muscles can be unpleasant and restrict your range of motion.
2.One of the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease is tremor. A tremor, sometimes called shaking, starts in one of your limbs, most commonly your hand or fingers. 
A pill-rolling tremor is created by rubbing your thumb and forefinger back. When your hand is at rest, it is possible that it will shake.

Is It Possible To Heal Parkinson's Disease?

Although there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, drugs can help patients manage their symptoms. 

Surgery may be required in some more advanced situations. A doctor may also advise a change in lifestyle, particularly regular aerobic exercise.

Research is going on

Researchers are always attempting to gain a better understanding of the disease. 
Identifying genes and biomarkers connected to Parkinson's disease, as well as trying with new medicines, are all part of this effort
“We are getting better at managing the complications of the disease. Patients are living longer and better than in the past, even without any medication,” says Liana Rosenthal, M.D., assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
