Antipsychotics and street drugs like heroin can create these symptoms also. Many times symptoms begin on one side of the body and slowly become worse as they begin to impact both sides of the body. Sadly, many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease are not easily detected and go undetected by many in the disease's early stages. Diet for Parkinson's disease sufferers People diagnosed with Parkinsons should eat a well-balanced and nourishing diet everyday. By eating well, the medications that they take will work properly. Sometimes the medication can cause nausea in patients, often connected to a lack of protein in the diet. If people remain to experience queasiness, a doctor can sometimes prescribe a different medication that can prevent side-effects from occurring before, during, or after meals. If you are a patient, ask your doctor for ideas and a packet about a diet for Parkinson's patients. They will be able to provide you with a list of super foods that can help you feel good and will get the most from the medication you take.

Many times the therapy for Parkinson's disease patients can easily be done in the comfort of their own home. Physicians provide helpful tips and moves that can stretch, enhance, and loosen the muscles. Typically the stretches and movement techniques can be taught in 3 office visits with a doctor. After these visits, the patient only has to come in for periodic visits to track progress and movement. Physical therapy will help individuals become more independent, strengthening a patient's coordination, balance, and gain strength. Individuals who do not have deep brain stimulators can use a local heat application to sore muscles and body pains. This application emits a high-frequency electrical current that warms the area and offers relief to the patient.
