I was looking for videos about parkinson’s disease causes and found this super video which I am sure you will find informative.
Courtesy of www.medstores.net – Patients talk about diagnosis and living with Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is best described as a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer’s motor skills, speech, and other functions. Parkinson’s disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, postural abnormalities, gait abnormalities, a slowing of physical movement (bradykinesia) and a loss of physical movement (akinesia) in extreme cases. The primary symptoms are the results of decreased stimulation of the motor cortex by the basal ganglia, normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the midbrain (specifically the substantia nigra). Secondary symptoms may include high level cognitive dysfunction and subtle language problems. PD is both chronic and progressive. PD is the most common cause of chronic progressive parkinsonism, a term which refers to the syndrome of tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. PD is also called “primary parkinsonism” or “idiopathic PD” (classically meaning having no known cause). While many forms of parkinsonism are idiopathic, “secondary” cases may result from toxicity most notably of drugs, head trauma, or other medical disorders. The disease is named after English apothecary James Parkinson, who made a detailed description of the disease in his essay “An … Video Rating: 5 / 5
Question posed by J. M. Smith: Is Soy Milk Pasteurized?
Is soy milk pasteurized? Ever since i found out that something in cows milk may cause Parkinson’s Disease, and that almost everything except pasteurization was ruled out as cause, I’ve been looking for ice cream made with soy milk. I found some, but the ingredient list was very long, and there were more calories and fat than with normal ice cream. So, is it pasteurized? And if it is, are there other kinds of milk not from animals that aren’t pasteurized?
Most comprehensive answer:
Answer by Jules I don’t think they pasteurize soy milk.
Question by B D: Cramping and Parkinsons Disease?
I have parkinson’s disease with the only symptom being tremors in my left hand and arm. I have started getting severe cramping in my calves. Does this cramping have anything to do with Parkinson’s? I am on no medications for the Parkinson’s.

Question by Ali D: Is it possible I might have Parkinson’s Disease?
I was seeing this show on Michael J. Fox and how he first felt hand shakes and I’ve been getting involuntary, mostly in the pinkie area hand shakes. I’m 25 years old and my grandfather had the disease, so I’m thinking I might be getting my first symptoms. I’m very nervous about this as I know how hard it is to live with this disease. Any ideas?
P.S. what kind of doctor should I see to run some tests/examine me and give me a well-informed diagnoses. Thanks.
No 1 answer:
Answer by kwgirlroper09 Hi it would be best to be checked over since it runs in your family and you have been having involuntary shaking. You will probably have to go to a regular doctor first and then request a specialist consult and ask your doctor to refer you. You would want to go see a neurologist. Remember if you are not satisfied with one doctor there are others too and it is your right to see another one if not satisfied. Good Luck and hope you find out what it is. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have Parkinsons as there are other things that can cause tremors. Electrolytes that are off. Chemical imbalances, drugs your taking etc. So i hope you find out soon and everything is okay.

Question by silverstreak1717: Is it legal for a school to ask the nurse if she has a serious illness (Parkinson’s Disease)?
A friend who is a school nurse in South Carolina is having a dilemma. She had sign a form that said she did not have Parkinson’s or three other diseases when she began her job. She did have Parkinson’s disease when she signed the form, but did not see how it was anybody’s business and knew it would not hinder her ability to do the job. Now, over 2 years later, she has to take a random drug screen and has already had a false positive (which the Parkinson’s drugs can cause). Now she has to take another test and is terrified of losing her job if they find out. She has been a model employee. She is always on time and does her job very well. Is it legal for them to have made her sign the form in the first place?
The best answer:
Answer by Jane Yes it is legal. She should realize that lying to her employer can get her fired and will harm her chances of finding another job. She isn’t very smart, is she.

They did not ask her about it because of the drug screen. Within 2 weeks of being hired, she had to sign a form saying she didn’t have Parkinson’s or another 3 rare diseases.
