PARKINSONS DISEASE or palsy is characterized by tremors, stiffness, "poker face", "freezing" when walking, loss of voice power, etc. Usually it is considered to be associated with a deficiency of a substance called dopamine, but it is very well controlled by HGH.
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE is a progressive, degenerative neurological disorder that leads to impairments in memory, thinking and reasoning. Alzheimer's disease is very hard on both the person who receives the diagnosis and on his or her The diagnosis is made based on the appearance of symptoms. The primary symptoms -- loss of both memory and the ability to communicate -- gradually become more pronounced over time. Sufferers begin to have difficulty completing daily tasks, appear disoriented ('lost' in familiar
surroundings), and may also show personality changes. Depression, general unease, and paranoia may also set in.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS(MS) is caused by demyelination (the inflammation and/or loss of myelin, the fatty covering that insulates the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. This causes the message carried by the affected nerve to become garbled or lost. Symptoms vary greatly:
Vision poblems, usually temporary, dimmed or blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision in one eye, sensitivity to light, "holes" in the visual field pain or the loss of coordination between the eyes. Red and green colors may be distorted, or night vision may be affected.
Altered sensations, (paresthesias). Numbness, a sensation of tingling, burning or "pins and needles," or an increase in sensitivity (hyperesthesia) often involve only a patch of skin.
L'Hermitte's sign: an electrical shock-like sensation that occurs when the neck is flexed forward. The sensation travels down the spine and into the arms or legs.
Fatigue, which increases with physical exertion, emotional stress and exposure to heat.It is more severe than fatigue experienced by other people. It is a neurological fatigue, both physical and mental, and can be overwhelming.
Difficulty concentrting
Muscle pain and spasms
Weakness, loss of strength and control in the legs and sometimes in the arms, difficulty with balance.
STROKES (also called "cerebrovascular accidents" or CVAs) occur when blood vessels carrying oxygen and other nutrients to a specific part of the brain suddenly burst or become blocked, and brain cells begin to die. About one-third of all strokes are preceded by one or more "mini-strokes," known as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). TIAs can occur days, weeks or even months before a stroke. The following may be signs of strokes:
Sudden weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg,(especially on one side of the body)
Loss of speech, trouble talking or understanding language
Sudden loss of vision, particularly in only one eye
Sudden, severe headache with no apparent cause
Unexplained dizziness, loss of balance or coordination (especially if associated with any of the above symptoms)
