But, i be in the future genetics will give us clues as to who is at risk by testing our genomes.

Question 8

what symptoms of parkinson's disease does mirapex (pramipexole) help?

Accepted Answer

Motor symptoms: Mirapex (pramipexole) is good for the motor symptoms of parkinson disease.  It should help the tremors, rigidity, and to some degree the bradykinesia.  Mirapex (pramipexole) also has good data for depression, which is very common in parkinson disease.  It will not help symptoms such as dementia, and may aggravate things like hallucinations and hypotension.

Question 9

which symptoms of parkinson's disease will mirapex (pramipexole) help?

Accepted Answer

Early Parkinson's: Would use this for mild and early disease, usually, and it may help tremor, stiffness, and even gait, but likely will benefit for maximum of 2 years. Early usage may prevent later dyskinesias or at least delay need for l-dopa  when disease is worse, can use for add on benefit, and may stabilize for a time.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unfortunately, people with Parkinson's often go from ambulatory and verile to bed-bound and senile in the end stages. Many medications can delay this progression, but once it gets to that point, hospice is a great option for care.
