One of the simplest and most effective flea repellents are eucalyptus leaves. For some reason fleas are averse to their smell. Bathing your dog in a mixture of 2 cups of water and a lemon or lime sliced thinly also helps keep off fleas and, like the eucalyptus leaves, smells good.
Motor symptoms â Motor symptoms are those that affect movement of the body. These are the most obvious symptoms of Parkinson disease. The main motor symptoms of PD are tremor, slowness of movement (called bradykinesia), stiffness (rigidity), and poor balance (postural instability).
The neurologist will also look for signs such as pain, loss of sensation, or extra-pyramidal rigidity, which is a different type of muscle rigidity that is frequently seen in Parkinsonâs type disorders. Step 2: Diagnostic Tests The next step in the diagnostic process often involves a series of test. These typically include an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the neck, and sometimes of the head and lower spine, an EMG (electromyography) which tests nerve conduction, and a series of blood tests. Sometimes urine tests, genetic tests, or a lumbar puncture (also called a spinal tap) are also necessary.
