Parkinson’s disease is an illness that affects the part of your brain that controls how you move your entire body. It can come on so slowly that you don’t even notice the signs at first. However, overtime, what starts as a little shakiness in your head can have an impact on how you walk, talk, sleep and think on a daily basis.
You’re more likely to get it when you’re 60 and older. It’s also possible for it to start when you’re younger, but that doesn’t happen nearly as often.
There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease; however, you can get treatment and support to help manage the symptoms of such.
