1. These symptoms include tremor that may affect a person's arms, legs, hands, or their head. Person's with Parkinson's disease may experience stiff muscles, or slow movement.
2. Another symptom of Parkinson's disease involves problems with walking or balancing.
3. Tremor may very well be the first symptom a person notices in association with Parkinson's disease; it is the most common of all of the signs of the disease, although not everyone with Parkinson's experiences it. Not everyone who experiences tremor has Parkinson's disease as well. Tremor will many times begin in just one leg or arm, on one side of the person's body, and may be worse when they are awake and not moving the limb affected. The tremor may improve when the person moves the affected limb, or when they are sleeping.
4. Affects muscles throughout the person's body, potentially leading to problems such as difficulty swallowing, or constipation. Persons in later stages of the disease may present a blank or, 'fixed,' expression, have difficulty speaking, or additional problems. Some persons with Parkinson's disease in later stages may experience a decrease in mental skills or dementia. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease usually appear in persons between the ages of fifty and sixty years old, although some people experience symptoms at earlier ages.
