Alzheimer's and Parkinson's is some kind of brain disease that causes dementia (senility). Although at the beginning of its development have signs and symptoms that are similar, but both are separate and distinct disease. However, in some cases, also found patients who suffered from a combination of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Symptoms of Parkinson's can also join with Alzheimer's. So do not be surprised if there are people who both can.
signs and symptoms typical for Parkinson's people are experiencing tremors. Tremor is usually only on one side of the body and generally occur on the hands. In people with Parkinson's, gradually began to be seen how to walk that slow with the foot being dragged along an unstable footsteps.
While the symptoms of Alzheimer's begins with the loss of memory and feeling a little confused. Gradually, these symptoms will worsen and lead to decline in mental function that is not curable, so that someone can lose the ability to remember, reason, and learn.
Now it turns out there is a disease that is a combination of both. The disease is rare, but it does not mean nothing. Combined the two names Lewy body dementia.
Lewy body are protein deposits found in nerve cells were damaged. This sediment often found in parts of the brain in Parkinson's patients. When is widespread throughout the brain, the Lewy body may cause signs and symptoms similar to Alzheimer's.
