12 Early Warning Signs Of Parkinson’s Disease

10. Changes in Writing

Patients with Parkinson’s have also reported a sudden difficulty in writing. Micrographia, or small handwriting that seems more crowded and chaotic is a common sign of the disease.

Although this might appear to be a more subtle sign than some of the other motor-impairments, it is nevertheless also caused by slowed movements (bradykinesia). The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation says that bradykinesia makes it difficult to perform repetitive tasks, and that’s why microphagia might occur.
