Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder with symptoms that vary from person to person. Some rare symptoms may be overlooked in early diagnosis.
One such symptom affects the noses of a small number of patients, often going unnoticed as it’s not immediately linked to Parkinson’s.
Parkinson’s is a movement disorder that progressively damages the brain, and unfortunately, there is no cure. It presents significant challenges for those diagnosed.
In the UK, about 18,000 people are diagnosed annually, primarily those over 50. Diagnosing Parkinson’s is difficult due to its wide range of symptoms. Dr. Beckie Port from Parkinson’s UK notes over 40 associated symptoms, including rigidity and sleeping issues.
