4 surprising insights into life with Parkinson’s Disease<br />
StatePoint Media<br />
Over 1 million Americans<br />
live with Parkinson’s<br />
disease, and while some<br />
symptoms are easier to see,<br />
there are a range of harderto-detect<br />
non-movement<br />
symptoms that can have an<br />
impact on daily life.<br />
Recently, the Parkinson<br />
& Movement Disorder<br />
Alliance, a non-profit organization<br />
offering programming<br />
for those in the<br />
Parkinson’s disease community,<br />
surveyed over 650<br />
people with Parkinson’s<br />
as well as care partners<br />
to understand how nonmovement<br />
symptoms impact<br />
their lives and quality<br />
of life.<br />

The results:<br />
1. Parkinson’s disease affects<br />
more than motor<br />
function. Every person<br />
with Parkinson’s disease<br />
may experience different<br />
symptoms, both motor<br />
and non-movement<br />
related.<br />
In fact, nearly all (90<br />
percent) of survey respondents<br />
experienced<br />
non-movement symptoms,<br />
such as:<br />
• Sleep problems (84 percent)<br />
• Cognitive challenges (75<br />
percent)<br />
• Anxiety (65 percent)<br />
• Depression (55 percent)<br />
• Hallucinations (41 percent)<br />
• Delusions (24 percent)<br />
2. Non-movement symptoms<br />
can be more challenging<br />
than motor<br />
symptoms. Of those<br />
who experienced or reported,<br />
non-movement<br />
symptoms, 84 percent<br />
felt that they have a<br />
negative impact on quality<br />
of life, and about half<br />
rated them as more challenging<br />
or much more<br />
challenging to live with<br />
than movement symptoms.<br />
3. Daily living is impacted<br />
by hard-to-see<br />
symptoms. Parkinson’s<br />
disease changes how<br />
patients and their care<br />
partners think about the<br />
future and cope with<br />
day-to-day living.<br />
In fact, non-movement<br />
symptoms negatively<br />
impacted the ability<br />
to:<br />
• Sleep (84 percent)<br />
• Plan for future events<br />
(76 percent)<br />
• Socialize (71 percent)<br />
• Make plans with family<br />
and friends (70 percent)<br />
• Be intimate with their<br />
partner (68 percent)<br />
• Complete household<br />
chores (68 percent)<br />
• Run errands (67 percent)<br />
When people with<br />
Parkinson’s experience<br />
non-movement symptoms,<br />
care partners are<br />
impacted, too. In fact,<br />
psychosis symptoms in<br />
patients with Parkinson’s<br />
are a strong predictor of<br />
increased care partner<br />
burden, and those with<br />
hallucinations have a<br />
2.5-fold greater risk for<br />
nursing home admission.<br />
4. Reporting symptoms is<br />
crucial. It’s important<br />
to report all symptoms<br />
to a doctor, as there are<br />
many different treatment<br />
options.<br />
