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?

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.

Answer by JT
Parkinson’s disease (also known as Parkinson disease or PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer’s motor skills and speech.
Parkinson’s disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement (bradykinesia) and, in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement (akinesia). 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, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the brain. Secondary symptoms may include high level cognitive dysfunction and subtle language problems. PD is both chronic and progressive.

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?
