( --- Introductory paragraph about Parkinson's symptoms etc --- )

There are many ways of classifying and listing symptoms and there are so many of them that a number of 'ways in' are listed in the expansion boxes below. (Click a box to toggle expansion of it.)

A - Z:

By motor/non-motor classification:

Parkinson's symptoms are often classified regarding whether they are largely movement-related or not. Some symptoms appear to arise from use of certain drugs.

Links to the symptoms of Parkinson's by a common clinical classification:

By neurological origin:

Links to the symptoms of Parkinson's by neurological origin:

 * /Other_neurodegeneration|Other parts of the nervous system

By drugs that may cause them:

Development of symptoms as the disease progresses:

There are some common symptoms, some of which may be mild, that patients have at diagnosis and which may well have led them to consult their doctor in the first place. As time goes by further symptoms develop or become more obvious.
 * /Common_Early|Symptoms of Parkinson's that patients are commonly aware of at diagnosis
 * /Common_mid_stage|Common mid-stage symptoms of Parkinson's
 * /Common_late_stage|Common late-stage symptoms of Parkinson's

This page and related subpages are still under development This is the top page of a hierarchy of pages which, at the bottom level, will contain a set of sub pages each dealing with a single symptom of Parkinson's. The intermediate pages in the hierarchy will discuss each symptom group together according to the classification heading.
