Parkinson’s is a Progressive Degenerative Neurological condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years.

The three main symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are:

• involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body (tremor)
• slow movement
• stiff and inflexible muscles

A person with Parkinson’s disease can also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms, including:

• depression and anxiety
• balance problems – this may increase the chance of a fall
• loss of sense of smell (anosmis)
• problems sleeping (insomnia)
• memory problems
• Working with the doctors to help with prescription of medication.
