The chemical that has been linked to Parkinson's disease is TCE which is a liquid chemical that lingers in the soil, water and air.
Heavy exposure to the chemical TCE can increase the risk of Parkinson's disease by 70 percent.
Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
Symptoms usually begin gradually and worsen over time.
As the disease progresses, people may have difficulty walking and talking.
The early signs of Parkinson's disease are tremors that occur in the hand and slow movement, loss of balance and stiffness.
Other symptoms and signs of Parkinson's Disease are stiff muscles, difficulty standing, difficulty walking, difficulty with bodily movements, involuntary movements, muscle rigidity, problems with coordination, rhythmic muscle contractions, slow bodily movement, or slow shuffling gait, early awakening, nightmares, restless sleep, or sleep disturbances, fatigue, dizziness, poor balance, or restlessness.
Also some other symptoms of Parkinson's Disease that are Cognitive are amnesia, confusion in the evening hours, dementia, or difficulty thinking and understanding, difficulty speaking, soft speech, or voice box spasms.
The lifespan of someone with Parkinson's disease is between 10 to 40 years.
The age at which a person can live with Parkinson's disease depends on how old the person is to begin with and if the person is only 40 years old or younger then they may live another 40 or even 50 years with the Parkinson's disease.
I had a neighbor lady that lived to 87 years old with Parkinson's disease and she was diagnosed with the Parkinson's disease at age 40 years old.
She struggled with living and doing daily tasks with the Parkinson's disease but she was able to still live a good life.
There's no cure for Parkinson's disease though so once you get the Parkinson's disease it cannot go away.
Parkinson's disease is lifelong and is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects a persons movement and often including tremors.
