12 Signs of Parkinson’s Disease

Tremors: Tremors are one of the key symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. These are involuntary and persistent shaking or twitching of the chin, legs, or hands, referred to as “rest tremors” because they tend to stop when the affected individual uses the body part experiencing the shake. Tremors are subtle at first and may be noticed only by the affected individual. However, they can get worse over time and tend to begin on only one side of the body, spreading to other areas as the disease progresses. “Parkinson’s Disease: A Complete Guide for Patients and Families” by William J. Weiner and Lisa M. Shulman is a comprehensive guide that covers everything about Parkinson’s disease, including its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments.
