Source: Nikita Egorov, Daria Pestryakova, Daria Burmistrova Olga Grebennikova from Nizhny Novgorod, 39 years old, was given a diagnosis that no one expects to hear at a young age: “Parkinson’s disease.” For 18 years now, the woman has been struggling every day with the consequences of the disease, trying to do normal things, sports and everyday life. Our colleagues from NN.RU talked to Olga and found out how she still manages to love life. She noticed the first symptoms during her last, fourth pregnancy – she lost her arm. Over time, sensitivity returned, but the fingers stopped working. As the youngest child grew up, there was no time to go to the doctors. “I finally turned to doctors only a year and a half after that. Because I began to feel that my body stopped listening. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed. Of course, I didn’t believe it. The head of the department said: “This cannot be, she is too young for such a diagnosis. She’s just depressed,” Olga recalls, constantly rubbing her hands. Parkinson’s disease is a slowly developing disease of the central nervous system, which is accompanied by slowness of movements, tremors at rest and impaired reflexes. The disease is based on damage to the nerve cells of the brain stem. After visiting several more doctors, the diagnosis was confirmed. The doctors asked me: “How many children do you have?” “I say: “Four.” The youngest was just born. The answer was, “Well, you still have ten years left.” Then it bothered me. And so, despite the forecasts, I already had 18 years of experience. But I still don’t think about giving up: I go in for sports and lead an active lifestyle,” Olga says with a smile. What other symptoms can be used to suspect Parkinson’s disease and how Olga manages to maintain her physical condition – see the material. short video just above.
