                              1. Stages
                                1. Stage one
                                  1. During this initial stage, the person has mild symptoms that generally do not interfere with daily activities. Tremor and other movement symptoms occur on one side of the body only. Changes in posture, walking and facial expressions occur.
                                    1. Stage two
                                      1. Symptoms start getting worse. Tremor, rigidity and other movement symptoms affect both sides of the body. Walking problems and poor posture may be apparent. The person is still able to live alone, but daily tasks are more difficult and lengthy.
                                        1. Stage 3
                                          1. Considered mid-stage, loss of balance and slowness of movements are hallmarks. Falls are more common. The person is still fully independent, but symptoms significantly impair activities such as dressing and eating.
                                            1. Stage 4
                                              1. At this point, symptoms are severe and limiting. It’s possible to stand without assistance, but movement may require a walker. The person needs help with activities of daily living and is unable to live alone. Stage Five
                              2. Pathology
                                1. PALLOR of the SUBSTANTIA NIGRA
                                  1. LEWY BODIES (alpha-synuclein protein)
                                    1. α-synuclein, a protein involved in synaptic transmission.
