Parkinson's Disease
Disability Care
Parkinson's Disease is a condition that affects a person's movement and can also affect their thinking abilities as the illness progresses. It's a condition that can start gradually and is unique to each person. Parkinson's Disease starts with mild symptoms, like a slight tremor in one hand or slowed movements on one side of the body. As the condition progresses, other symptoms may emerge, such as stiffness, rigid muscles, difficulty walking, changes in speech and writing, and impaired posture and balance.
The root cause of Parkinson's Disease is still unknown, but it is believed to occur when nerve cells that produce the neurochemical dopamine are damaged or dying. This decline in dopamine levels leads to abnormal brain activity, resulting in the symptoms commonly seen in Parkinson's.
Living with Parkinson's Disease also brings its own set of challenges, such as cognitive problems, depression, difficulty swallowing and chewing, bowel control issues, and trouble sleeping. However, with proper medication and support, patients can lead a better quality of life. There may also be surgical options for treatment, but the benefits and risks must be carefully considered.
At Personalised Care, we believe in empowering and uplifting those who are impacted by Parkinson's Disease. Our team is here to provide the care and resources needed to help you thrive and live your best life.
