11 Early warning signs of Parkinson Disease.

1. Tremor
Shaking in the hand, arm, foot, or leg is a common PD symptom. It’s usually more noticeable when someone is at rest, and it gets better with movement. And it usually starts on just one side of the body, but over time it can affect both sides.

2. Small handwriting
A person with PD may notice that their handwriting looks different. The letters may seem smaller than usual, and the words may seem closer together.

3. Stiffness and difficulty walking
Muscle and joint stiffness can be early signs of PD. Some people may swing their arms less than usual when walking. Over time they may develop a “shuffling gait.” That means they have trouble lifting their foot off the ground and taking a full step.

4. Trouble sleeping
PD can cause sudden movements, like jerking, when a person is in deep sleep. And difficulty staying asleep may also be a sign. They may get up frequently to use the bathroom. Or they may have pain or restlessness in their legs that improves only if they move around. These sleep symptoms may also lead to falling asleep in the middle of the day without meaning to.

5. Changes in voice
Someone with PD may start to speak in a softer or lower voice. They may also mumble, stutter, or have trouble articulating their words.

6. Constipation
Constipation is a very common symptom that many Americans experience. But one of the early symptoms of PD is difficulty moving your bowel or having to strain to pass a bowel movement.

7. Bladder problems
This is another common symptom with more likely causes than PD. But people with PD can feel like they have an overactive bladder. They may have to get up frequently to p*e or experience unexpected urgency.

8. Loss of smell
Experts believe the loss of smell may be one of the earliest signs of PD. And it can start years before any of the movement symptoms start.

9. Inability to make facial expressions
Another term for the inability to make facial expressions is a “masked face.” It describes the way some people with PD have a harder time expressing joy or laughter with their facial expressions. They may look like they are upset, mad, or serious even when they’re in a good mood.

10. Hunching over
Stooping, slouching, or leaning when standing can all be early signs of PD. Someone may also have trouble balancing and maintaining their posture.

11. Rigidity or slow movements
Someone with PD may start to slow down their everyday movements. For example, it may take someone much longer to button their shirt or tie their shoes.

How long can you have Parkinson’s without knowing?
Since PD symptoms are different from person to person, it’s possible that someone can live for several years before realizing they have the disease. Many people are not diagnosed until the later stages of the condition.

When should you see a doctor about possible Parkinson’s?
If you or a loved one is experiencing one or more of the above symptoms, it’s never too early to talk to your doctor. That’s especially true if a symptom is worrying you or interfering with your day-to-day life.

It can be scary to address these concerns or face the possibility of PD. But remember, there are many different explanations for the symptoms above. So whether or not PD is causing them, your provider can help you figure out what’s going on.

Can you cure PD if you catch it early?
There’s no cure for PD. But that doesn’t mean there’s no treatment. There are many medications and treatments that can help people with PD live a long and healthy life.
