A question asked by lindylu0918: Disease causing shaking?
I don’t think its Parkinson’s, or anything that serious, and it may not be medical at all, but Im always shaking, it NEVER stops, and it isn’t shaking to where I’m on the floor or anything, but Im always trembling. Its not that Im mentally nervous, excited, etc., but physically, you would think so, so you could only imagine how bad it is when I REALLY am nervous. I could be nonchalant, and Im shaking, and its really embarrassing. Especially when all the attention is on me. Please give me a solution or at least a explanation so I could understand better. O, and I want to go to college for film, and it going to be really difficult to hold a camera while Im shaking. Thanks!

A question asked by : Parkinson’s Disease?
I’m twenty years old and I don’t remember there ever being a time that my grandma wasn’t shaking. She never went to the doctor and she refuses to admit something is wrong with her but, everybody knows she has Parkinson’s. I’m not sure when her symptoms started showing though.

About six or seven years ago, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He was only in his thirties and last year, he had brain surgery.

I have a six year old sister. Are we destined to get Parkinson’s disease too? I’ve noticed in the past few years, my memory isn’t as good and there’s times when I start shaking really bad. Am I just being paranoid or could I already be showing symptoms? Is there a way to prevent Parkinson’s disease? I know there’s no cure – yet – but, is there anything I can do?

“Parkinson’s Disease Dementia” featuring Neurologist, Dr. Dee Silver, discusses how Parkinson’s patients are 4 to 6 times more likely to develop some cognitive impairment. Up to 1 million people in the US are affected by IPD. After patients have had the disease 8 to 10 years, they have about an 80% chance of developing cognitive impairment. Dr. Silver talks about a new drug (Excelon) that is shown to hold off these impairments. Series: “MDTV (Medical Doctor Television) ” [12/2007] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 13686]

Question posed by Denise: Has there ever been a child diagnosed with parkinson’s disease?
My sons body vibrates. It is noticeable in his hands and head. Everything I search points to parkinson’s. His grandfather and great grandfather have been diagnosed with parkinson’s, but the doctors I’ve asked say that my son can’t have it because he’s too young. (My son is 10.) I don’t think the disease cares how old a person is.

Answer by christigmc
I think the youngest someone has ever gotten Parkinson’s is 30. I think his shaking is probably due to seizures or epilepsy. Have his doctors checked for that?

A question from Catriin: What diseases can be cured by stem cells and how would the cells cure those specific diseases?
I need to know which diseases can be cured by Stem Cell treatment. I know that Parkinson’s disease can be cured by this form of treatment but I need two other examples. I also need to know exactly how the cells will treat those specific diseases such as how the stem cells would target the motor cortex, causing a more sufficient amount of dopamine to be formed when treating Parkinson’s disease.
Thanks,

Cat.

There are many hurdles before stem cell implantation can be a potential cure or treatment for Parkinson’s disease. At this point skin cells have been used but the long term results are not in yet.

Other conditions with a cure potential include diabetes type 1 (juvenile diabetes), ALS, Huntington’s disease, Becker Muscular dystrophy (BMD), Down Syndrome, adenpsone deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID), Gaucher disease type III, Schechman-Bodian-Diamons syndromw (SBDS)

There is stem cell treatment for Crohn’s disease.

A question asked by Rose1544: Can a dog have Parkinson’s disease?
I have a 5 month old female puggle. Last night she began to shake her head as if she had Parkinson’s disease. This is the second time this happened. The first time was also at night but she returned to normal the next day. This time there were additional symptoms. She had a hard time standing, her legs were weak. She vomitted and later peed on her self. What is wrong with my baby? Can anyone offer any advice.

The best answer:

Answer by tiger_cutie2000
Sounds like the dog had a siezure. In any case you are going to have to go to your vet for further blood work. Small dogs have anxiety anyway and tend to shake because of it. but the other siymptoms? She was unable to react and lost all control over her muscles, so sounds like siezures.

Answer by pearlmar
I saw this online:
“Choices about medications made early in the course of the disease have a strong impact on the long-term course of the illness. Therefore, you should seek the advice of doctors specially trained in treating Parkinson’s disease (called movement disorders specialists) even when the illness is only suspected. Movement disorders specialists are doctors who have completed their training in neurology (brain and nerve problems) and have received special advanced training in treating Parkinson’s disease and other related diseases.”

I don’t know where you live in GA but I know they have some of these specialists at Emory in Atlanta.
