The Five Stages of Parkinsons Disease

During the beginning stages, you might start to notice tremors or difficulty’s in certain movements. Usually it only affects one side of the body at this time. Medication is often prescribed to help with these symptoms and usually the symptoms are not severe enough to affect activities of daily living.
The symptoms of stage II are similar to I but more noticeable and severe. Stiffness and changes in facial expression are now more present. Balance at this stage is usually ok but still depends on the person and the speed of progression. Going from stage I to II can vary from months to years.
During this mid stage of Parkinson’s is when things change ore drastically. This is when we start to become concerned about the safety of getting around. The symptoms form stage I and II are the same but more severe. Reflexes are also starting to become affect at this point. Tasks are still able to be completed but are very difficult to do.
Many patients are unable to live alone at this point. They might be able to stand without assistance but the need for a walker ore other type of assistive devise are usually needed at this time. Many times tasks can not be preformed at this time.
This is the most advanced stage of Parkinson’s and is the most difficult for not only the patient but for the family and other loved ones as well. Patients usually require a wheelchair at this point and around the clock assistance.
