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.

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?

Can a Dog Have Parkinson’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.

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.

Parkinson’s Disease?

A question asked by Sasha: Parkinson’s disease?
I’m wondering what are some of the first signs of Parkinson’s disease..I know its easy to google symptoms but i was looking for more of a personal answer as to what tipped you (or friend/family member) off that something needed checked out.

The best answer:

Answer by Rogue
I’m a neuroscience student, so this isn’t personal experience, but Parkinson’s is caused by cell death in the substantia nigra, which produce dopamine and signal voluntary movement. Its is characterised by tremors in the earliest stage and loss of motor function. Patients describe the sensations as knowing what they want their body to do but not having its respond properly, or as quickly. I hope this helps and your loved one does not have this illness. The best of luck.

When it comes to parkinson’s disease this video provides some great insights.

Columbus Dispatch Outs “The Terrible Teabagger”: bit.ly COLUMBUS – In a scene reminiscent of non-violent civil rights confrontations from the 1960s, Ohio Tea Partiers quickly turned ugly when facing off with health care advocates in front of Ohio Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy’s office Tuesday. In shocking video taken by a Columbus Dispatch reporter Doral Chenowith yesterday, Tea Party protestors mock a seated counter-protestor with a sign indicating he has Parkinson’s disease. They then proceed to hurl wadded up bills at him shouting, “I’ll decide when to give you money!” On March 17th outside of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy’s (D-OH15) district office teabaggers mocked and scorned a man who had a sign stating that he had Parkinson’s. They told him “he’s in the wrong end of town to ask for handouts”, called him a communist and threw dollar bills at him to “pay for his health care”.
