  • PARKINSON'S DISEASE Is There ANY treatment? Let's Talk About It👴🏽👵🏽👨🏽👩🏽🧠

    #familycaregivers #healthyaging

    .................................

    We know "The Greatest"- Muhammad Ali; Michael .J. Fox from the TV Sitcom "Family Ties" and many more movies, as the 2 most famous spokespersons for Parkinson's Disease; note the extremes of ages: Fox in his 20s and Ali in his 60s/70s.

    It seems "not as popular" as Dementia, but thankfully, thanks to extensive Research and increasing awareness, we have more help..

    While there is no cure, recent research suggests that we may be able to combine and compare early, subtle signs that Parkinson's may be on its way:

    First:, a Definition: A neurodegenerative disorder that affects predominately the dopamine-producing (“dopaminergic”) neurons (nerves in the brain) in a specific area called the substantia nigra- kind of butterfly-shaped area in a part of the brain closely connected to where our thought processes and dream/sleep occurs.

    As you observe, you may "notice" what may have been passed up before- TALK about it!
