Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremors in the limbs, muscle stiffness, balance problems and physical and mental slowness. The disease is named after the British doctor James Parkinson, who first described the disease in 1817. Parkinson's is a syndrome with unique characteristics for each and every person and it is up to you to decide how to direct your life.
