what are the possible effects when you get parkinson's disease
When you have Parkinsonâs disease, some areas of your brain are âgetting olderâ faster than the rest of your body. A person with Parkinsonâs disease gradually loses the ability to have complete control of their body movements. You may experience these as changes that appear slowly over time.
In time, Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation. In the later stages of the disease, a person with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people also lose mental skills (dementia). People usually start to have symptoms between the ages of 50 and 60.
