Parkinson’s disease is a progressive and long-lasting movement disorder, which means that it continues and grows worse over time. Almost one million people in the US are suffering from this disease. The cause isn’t exactly known, and currently there is no cure for it either, but there are some treatment options for it such as medication and surgery in order to control its symptoms.
On the other hand, Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease which is progressive and can affect your central nervous system. There are million nerve cells in the brain which sends signals throughout our body to control sensation, movement, speech, cognition and memory. People who are suffering from MS the myelin sheath is mistakenly attacked and damaged by the immune cells. As a result, it disrupts the nerve signals.
Anticipation and anxiety often leads to having ‘butterflies in the stomach’ and usually scatters along with the source of dismay. But scientists have come out with a new discovery, that the nerve pathways between the brain and the gut is the reason of feeling ‘butterflies in the stomach’ and this phenomenon is linked to illnesses such as Parkinson’s and MS (Multiple Sclerosis).

- Extremity pain
Everyone is affected by MS differently. The types of symptoms and harshness of this disease vary from person to person, much like the Parkinson’s disease. The exact cause of this disease is also unknown, but scientists believe that there are four factors which play a major role in developing this disease. These four factors are:
- A genetic connection
- Infections
- Immunologic
- Environment
Parkinson’s persists over a long time period and sometimes people become severely disable because of it too. But, others only face minor disruptions. Tremor is the most common and major symptom that patients suffering from this disease face.
