PD: first and worst symptoms noticed

Parkinson’s Disease has over 40 symptoms and everyone’s experience with it is different. During a nurse zoom clinic last year, we discussed participants first symptoms noticed. What were the first changes they had?

50% of participants noticed a tremor, while other first symptoms varied.

We then asked participants what was now their worst symptom they experienced? These symptoms included posture, tiredness, coordination among others.

What one person experiences will likely differ from the next. Not one person with Parkinson’s is the same.

A personalised approach should be taken to address the individual & the individuality of PD & it’s symptoms.
