Parkinson Disease Symptoms
Parkinson disease belongs to the group of degenerating diseases that injure the brain, the hub of the central nervous system. The primary symptoms of Parkinson’s disease stem from the deterioration of the part of the brain that controls motor functioning. The primary cause of Parkinson’s disease is still speculative, though most researches believe it’s a combination of genetics and environment. One theory hypothesizes that neuronal deterioration in the brain is caused by the accumulation of free radicals as a result of exposure to toxins possible from food and pesticides.
It’s hard to track when a person with this disease first experienced signs of the disease. Most patients mentioned that they first noticed that something is wrong when one of their limbs was trembling. However, a closer inquiry indicates the subtle signs appeared before. The early signs many patients recalled having before the tremor were lack of blinking, Failure to swing one arm when walking, painful shoulder, discomfort of the neck, and feeling of inner trembling.
In most cases the first symptoms that were impossible to ignore appeared in one side of the body, for example, tremble in one of the limbs. The disease progresses slowly and gradually for a decade or more and than strikes the other limb at the same side of the body. Because of the deterioration in motor functioning most patients use a wheel chair in later stages of the disease.
Other symptoms caused by the decreasing of dosage of dopamine in the brain are involuntary tremors when resting-usually involuntary tremors of the limbs, muscles stiffness (losing the ability to make fast and spontaneous movements), slow voluntary movement, difficulties maintaining balance and stable gait (Stooped posture, a tendency to lean forward) an increased production of saliva (drooling), difficulty swallowing, softness of the voice and slurred speech (caused by lack of muscles control), ansomia- reduced sense of smell(inability to sense certain odors), loss of facial expression or “masking”, depression, anxieties, insomnia-sleep problems, constipation, increased sweating and inability to control urine.

Example of this would be something like a Computer chip that was "put" in you through way of injection to a main artery or vein that would let it travel to the brain find place and settle inside. Please only real answeres here as this is a very serious question.

Hi
the tunnel for the mri is very deep. normally covering up to a person’s knees if fully in it. For a brain scan, how deep must a person be in the machine?

I heard that people only use about 8% of their brains. Does that mean that the other 92% of your brain serves no purpose but to just waste matter? So, you must be able to impale it, right? I’ve been researching this for a while, because I want to get an item shoved into my head and come out alive. Any information would be helpful.

I’m writing a paper on the involvement of radiologic technologists in the placment of Deep Brain Stimulators. I’ve found quite a bit of information about the procedure from a surgical point of view and I’ve also located a patient willing to present her perspective… what I need is a complete rundown of the procedures and equipment used by the radiographers imaging during the procedure. Can anyone provide this? If anyone happens to work in a department than has even a protocol for the procedure, I’d love to see it. Thanks!

I am considering this "procedure" but i feel I need to hear the real story first` hand from an experienced person. What did they (your medical team, i.e.:neorologist, surgeon) say, which symptoms would improve` change dissapear? Did they? What are the results? How do you feel about DBS overall now?

My friends 10 yr old son fell off a hayride and the wheel ran his head over. He was in a coma for 3 months and woke up to a minimal conscious state. She has located hospitals that do deep brain stimulation on adults but not children. Any other advice would help at all!

Deep brain stimulation is helping people with MS, Parkinsons, Psychiatric disorders, and other CNS disorders. Could this pacemaker in the brain help Alzheimers?
suffers from Parkinson's disease, then this is going to be one of the most important things you'll ever read.
