Dyskinesia: abnormal involuntary movement

Slowness of movement
This is the most disabling symptom. Initially, it often begins in one arm with a loss of manual dexterity. The slowness makes it difficult to get out of a chair or turn in bed. Fine movements such as buttoning clothing, handwriting, and using a fork or knife may become difficult. Later, the person appears to be in slow motion and if not treated may become virtually frozen like a statue. Because of the enormous energy it takes to overcome slowness the person with Parkinson's often complains of being "weak" although there is not true muscular weakness.

Tremor
Tremor occurs in about two-thirds of people with Parkinson's and is often the most visible and obvious sign of the disease. While the Parkinson's tremor usually affects the hands and feet it sometimes involves the lips, tongue, and jaw. The tremor is more visible while at rest or while walking and will usually stop during movement of the hand.

Muscle stiffness
Stiffness combined with slowness may cause aching muscles and joints, especially in the shoulders. This is sometimes misinterpreted as "arthritis" or "bursitis."


I know leave you to your regular hobby of trashing and correcting my grammar. Have a nice day.
