How to spot the subtle signs of Parkinson’s in its early stages

  • Parkinson's disease, the fastest-growing neurological condition globally, presents with a range of symptoms beyond the commonly known tremors.
  • Early signs, often subtle, can include pain, anxiety, balance issues, stiffness, loss of smell, sleep problems and depression.
  • Other indicators are tremor (typically when at rest), smaller handwriting (micrographia), and diminished facial expressions.
  • These symptoms can appear years before movement issues become noticeable, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
  • Parkinson's UK offers support and resources for those affected by the condition.
