Parkinson’s: What is it?  It is basically a disease of the central part of our brain. It is a neurological disorder affecting our ability for movement and balance including speech. Obviously it majorly effects of simplest of our daily tasks. People who suffer from Parkinson’s are lacking a chemical called Dopamine; which in turn causes the symptoms of the disease. From what I can gather the real cause of the disease is simply unknown.

Generally speaking scientists believes that it is a combination of genetics and environment. They just don’t know.

Medical Costs: In the US a person could spend as much as $2,500.00 a year for medication and possibly $100,000.00 yearly for surgery.

 

Early Signs and Stages of Parkinson Disease:

The Main Symptoms of Parkinson’s:

  • Uncontrollable shacking and tremors usually from hands or fingers
  • Slow movement
  • Impaired speech
  • Poor posture and balance
  • Diminished automatic movement


Treatment: We know there are medications and also surgery to help us better deal with the disease. However, there are other things we can do also. A combination of strength training and various aerobic activities is most beneficial in helping the individual be less disabled. Exercise activities both strength as well as aerobic are important because they improve our mussels and thus help with our physical activities. Physical therapy definitely helps diminish the effects of Parkinson’s.

Exercising is beneficial for the  potential overall improvement of many of the problems concerning: movement, balance and speech; everything that life is about.

Thought researches may disagree on the number of stages; they do agree that they may overlap and also can get progressively worse quickly.

With all this said and done we see have this disease as well as others greatly prohibit our social and personal activities. We are not sure of the cause so we have difficulty finding a cure. With time and funding we will overcome this disease.

We hope this was helpful to all. If you have any thoughts to help others please lets us know by sharing…thanks..

 We also actively work to make the community around us, a much better place to live in and therefore we will want and like “you” to send us “your”ideas so that we too could potentially continue our enduring mission of helping our members.

Well the story of Tommy’s Team™ begins this way. I was raised by a single parent, a widower as I lost my father at a young age. I am myself divorced and also became a single parent. I am also a senior and a grandparent. I did not have a particular hard life but I had many challenges and I had to work very hard to achieve a certain amount of success. Because of my situation I knew what it meant to not have certain things and that I was missing out fromnot being part of a complete family unit. There are many people in this world with similar situations.

Throughout my life I have always tried to help people in any way I can and I think we all feel better if we can help others. We all want Peace, Joy and Happiness. This can beachieved in many different ways, such as being part of a solid family unit, having success in life and work, great friends or just being satisfied.

Tommy’s Team™ was created on the basis that we all need a little help sometimes, no matter what our situation is. Some people may need more than others and we go by the concept of People Helping People. Tommy’s Team is for everyone and no one is excluded.

We believe that we can make the world a better place by looking out for people who need a helping hand. Simply follow the steps and post what you need.
