My dad had Parkinson’s. The first symptom was his hands shaking. The second symptom was aphasia. After that I don’t really know since they put him on meds.
And the 8-10 visits to the White House by the doc, keeping it quiet, apparently putting White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre out there to lie, which she does so incredibly well...
A typical day for a Parkinson’s patient is slowness, rigidity, balance problems, falls, low volume of voice, difficulty being understood, bladder problems, bowel problems, and sometimes cognitive decline and paranoia.
People often ask: What is the most common cause of death in Parkinson’s patients?
<><>In rare cases, serious falls can be fatal.
<><>Pneumonia, particularly “aspiration pneumonia,” is the leading cause of death
<><>accounts for 70% of Parkinson’s deaths.
“Aspiration pneumonia” is when food, stomach acid, or saliva is inhaled into lungs.
My dad had Parkinson’s, too. First symptom was the shuffle. It got to the point where he could not stand up. Then came the blank stare and the shakes.
Same as my father. His right wrist and hand shook badly. He had to hold his right hand/wrist with his left to sign his name on a check.
