Parkinson's 'silent' symptom may be spotted on toilet years before diagnosis

There is a 'silent' symptom of Parkinson's disease that you may spot when using the toilet.

Parkinson's Disease is a condition impacting parts of the brain which become progressively damaged over many years. The neurological condition is more commonly diagnosed in people over the age of 60.

Unfortunately, around 12,400 people have Parkinson's in Scotland, representing about one in every 375 adults, with the number growing, according to Parkinson's UK. There is currently no cure for the condition, but spotting symptoms early to allow a treatment plan to be put in place can be important to help maintain quality of life.
