Not everyone experiences all of these symptoms, and they can vary greatly from person to person. A MyParkinsonsTeam member shared, "I can trace symptoms back to 2005," highlighting how gradually symptoms can develop over time.
It's always worth discussing any new or changing symptoms with your neurologist so they can help adjust your care plan accordingly.
