The Unbearable Misery: Understanding the Advanced Stage of Parkinson’s Disease

[Voice of Hope August 15, 2023](Editor: Li Wenhan) After Parkinson’s patients reach the advanced stage, why is life so “unbearably miserable?”

One of the most vulnerable age groups is one’s own childhood, and the other is one’s old age. Therefore, more things must be done for one’s own health, especially for the elderly with Parkinson’s disease. For this chronic developmental disease, once If it develops to an advanced stage, the elderly will become “unbearably miserable”

The main symptoms of Parkinson’s are muscle stiffness and tremors, which can cause various movement disorders in the elderly. Because of the death of brain neurons and the gradual loss of function, the symptoms will become more obvious over time, and its development is chronic. The nature of the disease has also become the “difficulty” of many patients.

The development of the disease is also divided into several stages. Generally, after the disease reaches the advanced stage, patients generally lose their exercise ability and cannot take care of themselves in life. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of this disease are particularly important, so that they can spend a long time with high quality. The stage of Parkinson’s disease is the ideal of every Parkinson’s disease, so when Parkinson’s disease develops to an advanced stage, what impact will it cause:

In the late stage of the disease, due to the aggravation of symptoms such as tremor and stiffness, Parkinson’s disease will greatly affect the daily life of the elderly, causing their quality of life to plummet, losing the ability to take care of themselves, and relying on others for life help.

When the disease develops to the fifth stage, the patient is basically unable to complete basic actions such as washing, dressing, and eating with his own ability, and bed rest has become a stage that the elderly must go through. Therefore, the elderly need the help of family members or nurses. Keep up with the demands of everyday life.

For the death of neurons and the disappearance of function, Parkinson’s patients generally have no effect after the fourth stage, and the biggest problem facing individuals is movement disorders, unable to walk normally, and Parkinson’s disease Patient pain points.

In addition to exercise, patients need to endure the pain caused by the disease every day, and the quality of life has ceased to exist. Due to the long-term use of Parkinson’s drugs and the aggravation of symptoms, Parkinson’s patients will also be affected in cognitive function in the late stage. There may even be cases of depression and dementia!

Elderly people with Parkinson’s often need all-round care from their family members, especially when the patient’s condition reaches an advanced stage, they need the help of their family members to complete basic life needs, such as dressing, bathing, eating, etc., so the patient has to give up on himself They devote themselves to taking care of patients with their work or social activities. In addition, medical expenses are also a problem that the family must consider!

Parkinson’s is not terrible, what’s terrible is that you don’t have the confidence to face it. No matter what stage of Parkinson’s disease you are in, if you find a suitable way to treat it, Parkinson’s can go through a long treatment cycle well. , ensure a healthy and long life, and enjoy a wonderful old age life.

There is no “perfect” treatment for any disease in the world today, and Parkinson’s disease is certainly no exception. Western medicine is the leading treatment method for Parkinson’s disease. Some side effects brought about, as if the side effects of drugs are the insurmountable difficulty of Western medicine treatment.

With the follow-up helplessness of the “honeymoon period” of curative effect, and clinical practice proves that the actual effect of western medicine’s efforts in this area is not enough, but it cannot deny the certain role of western medicine. Chinese medicine, as one of the treatment methods, also contains There is no doubt that it has a huge “anti-par” power.
