How to recognize them
Parkinson’s disease: first signs often appear long before
Parkinson’s disease ranks among the most common disorders of the nervous system, alongside Alzheimer’s dementia and stroke. Austria’s leading Parkinson’s specialist explains which symptoms occur and what those affected—such as former Mayor Michael Häupl—can expect.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen It’s a shocking diagnosis that immediately brings to mind Alois Mock or Michael J. Fox. Now Vienna’s former mayor has also received the news: He has Parkinson’s disease. His wife noticed the first signs and advised him to see a neurologist, the 75-year-old told the “Krone.” “Of course, I know it’s incurable,” says Häupl, but he’s doing well at the moment. “I just have this tremor.”

She speaks with the “Krone” about the disease, how to recognize it early on—and how important early detection of symptoms and treatment are.
