Were you looking for information about Parkinson's Disease? Parkensons is a common misspelling of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that tends to get worse over time. Although the cause of this disease is currently unknown, it is known that symptoms of Parkinson's disease result from the loss of brain cells in a region of the brain that controls movement. This loss causes a deficiency of a certain brain chemical (dopamine), which causes movement problems. Possible symptoms of Parkinson's disease include stiffness in the limbs, fixed facial expressions, and tremors.
