Parkinson's disease has a profound impact on the patient's ability to perform daily life and exercise, and active self-management is required in order to improve quality of life and delay the progression of the disease.
How can people with Parkinson's disease manage themselves?
1. Correct understanding and positive understanding.
First, patients need to understand the symptoms, causes, methods, and possible risks of Parkinson's disease. This helps them better understand their situation and make the right decisions. Parkinson's patients should cooperate with the drug for a long time after the disease**, and the patient and his family should understand the medication method, adverse reactions, precautions, etc., and should not stop the drug or change the dosage without authorization. If you have any abnormal problems such as changes in your condition or physical discomfort, you must communicate with your doctor in time.
2. Maintain a positive attitude and eliminate anxiety.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic condition that requires long-term** and management. Patients need to maintain a positive mindset to face the challenges posed by the disease. They can join a peer group, talk to a fellow patient, or seek help from a doctor.
3. Drug adjustment management.
Current clinical studies have shown that drugs should be started as early as possible**. Most of the drugs used in the early stage are neuroprotective**, which can improve the patient's symptoms and delay the progression of the disease. Early detection and early detection can greatly delay the deterioration of patients' living ability and prolong their working hours, improving the quality of life of patients. The natural process of Parkinson's disease is a gradual deterioration process, and the time from diagnosis to incapacity of Parkinson's disease and disability is relatively shorter, while the life expectancy of patients will not be significantly shortened, and their prognosis and quality of life will also be significantly improved.
If the symptoms of Parkinson's disease are more pronounced and the patient's daily life and work requirements are higher, the benefits of improvement are likely to outweigh the risks, and this is a reasonable time to start.
4. Long-term exercise to delay the progression of the disease.
Many people with Parkinson's disease do not exercise at home, and the results of studies have shown that exercise is particularly beneficial for the body's strength, flexibility and balance, which cannot be achieved by medication and surgery. Exercise can help relieve the symptoms of muscle stiffness and slowness in Parkinson's disease. Patients can choose light exercises such as yoga, tai chi, dance, aerobic exercises such as cycling. Avoid strenuous physical activity so as not to increase the burden on your muscles.
*Exercise can help Parkinson's disease patients recover their lost function as quickly and as possible as soon as possible, reminding Parkinson's disease patients and their families that exercise needs long-term management.
5. Maintain a balanced diet.
Diet is essential for Parkinson's disease and self-management. Patients should maintain a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, healthy fats, and high-quality protein.
6. Maintain social activities.
Social activities can help relieve psychological stress and strengthen social support networks. Patients can participate in interest groups, volunteer activities, or social gatherings to keep in touch with family and friends.
