Sometimes these diseases develop gradually over time. Some children with interstitial lung disease have other medical conditions such as heart disease, joint disease (arthritis), blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia, cancer, or chronic inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohnâs or Ulcerative Colitis).
Peripheral neuropathy. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's one year ago. In December started having severe pain in my left leg. My primary care doctor just ordered a nerve study which confirms peripheral neuropathy.
Symptoms. There are symptoms of Parkinsonâs disease that could be perceived as dystonic. For example, someone with Parkinsonâs may develop certain postures and changes in their extremities that are symptomatic of dystonia. Flexion of the neck or of the feet is common. lack of dopamine is thought to be the cause of Parkinsonâs and is also believed to play a role in dystonia, though researchers are unsure as to what that role is. The drug Levodopa is used to treat both conditions.
