FAQ: Dr. Farley and NeuroBio Medicine Health Institute

1. What is Parkinson’s disease, and what are its main symptoms?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement. It is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Common symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slow movement (bradykinesia), and balance problems. Non-motor symptoms such as cognitive decline, depression, and sleep disturbances can also occur.

2. What are thyroid diseases, and how do they affect the body?

Thyroid diseases refer to conditions that affect the thyroid gland, a small gland located in the neck that produces hormones regulating metabolism. The most common thyroid conditions are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), which slows down metabolism, and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), which speeds it up. Symptoms of thyroid diseases can include weight changes, fatigue, temperature sensitivity, and changes in heart rate.

3. What is peripheral neuropathy, and what causes it?

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Causes can include diabetes, infections, injuries, and exposure to toxins. Symptoms vary depending on the affected nerves but often include numbness, tingling, pain, and muscle weakness.
