Often people in oldage suffer from Parkinsonian symtoms and most often it is ignored as oldage age symptom not only by caregivers but also by doctors who keep themselves updated.
Tremours in hand and stumbled walking are the sumptoms found in elder people often misunderstood as due to advancing age. The symptoms worsen in such a way that even the day to day activities become a burden to them and finally making themselves a burden to the family members.
Detecting the disease and identifying the symptom at an early stage helps a lot in the treatment of the disease and improve the quality of life of the individual.Therapy can be given with Levadopa and carbidopa which healps to cure the symptoms a bit but actually brings along with it hell of complications and morning sickness.
The worst complication of the disease is it leads to a condition called Acute Akinesia the sudden motor breakdown which drags the patient to the very advanced and almost the end stage of Parkinson's disease with disruption in all motor function and making them totally dependent on others for feeding and toilet needs.
