In the movie “Love Medicine is Not Medicine”, Ann Hathaway plays a Parkinson’s disease patient who proposes to break up in order not to cause the burden of care for her boyfriend. What is Parkinson’s disease? What are the causes of Parkinson’s disease? From involuntary shaking of a certain part of the body to bending forward when standing or walking, sometimes rushing forward faster and faster. Why does Parkinson’s disease gradually take away the patient’s complete health like “pumping the jackpot”? Let’s pay attention to Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease that plagues a small number of elderly people.
In the early 18th century, James Parkinson, a neurologist in London, England, observed this progressive disease. He compiled the clinical observations of six patients into the book “An Essay on Shaking Palsy”, published in Published in 1817, it became the reason why the disease was later named Parkinson’s disease.
The cause of Parkinson’s disease is currently believed to be related to genetic and environmental factors. People with Parkinson’s family members were more likely to get the disease, as were those who had been exposed to certain pesticides and who had had a head injury; but those who smoked and drank coffee or tea regularly were at lower risk.
Parkinson’s disease mostly occurs between the ages of 55 and 60. Due to the death of substantia nigra cells in the brain, the secretion of dopamine in the relevant brain regions of the patient is insufficient, causing the patient to experience trembling hands and feet, unsteady gait, obvious movement disorders, and sleep disorders. There are shouting sounds of punching and kicking, drowsiness during the day, inability to keep a smile on a regular basis and a poker face, swallowing troubles and drooling, etc., each patient’s performance is different.
Parkinson’s disease is divided into 5 stages. In the first stage, there will be symptoms of stiffness and trembling on one side of the body; in the second stage, it will affect both sides of the body and cause imbalance; in the third stage, walking is unstable and easy to fall; in the fourth stage Although he can stand and walk, he needs the assistance of relatives and friends at the beginning of life; in the fifth stage, he needs to stay in bed or sit in a wheelchair for a long time, and cannot walk by himself.
A netizen once asked Dad, what gift do you want for Father’s Day? Suffering from Parkinson’s disease, he said, “I just want to be ‘healthy. Becoming a helpee in front of family members is suffering physically and mentally. Facing the disease, we can only take medicine to delay the deterioration.
Today, Parkinson’s disease is still an irreversible disease that plagues many patients and their families. Once you get sick, you have to live with the disease. Fortunately, in addition to regular medication, you can also adapt to it through mild exercise and rehabilitation. As the disease evolves, the family members should also do enough psychological construction, unite the family’s solidarity, encourage the patient to go to the rehabilitation department regularly, and use physical therapy for long-term rehabilitation exercises to delay the deterioration of the disease.
