A Californian man who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in his 40s said he initially wrote off his earliest symptoms.
Vikas Chinnan, from San Carlos, near San Francisco, said his early warning signs included stiff muscles and bizarre ‘vivid’ dreams that made him feel like he was still awake.
The father-of-two initially dismissed the symptoms as being due to a viral infection he caught in seventh grade that damaged his spine. But he then began to suffer tremors in his right arm, forgetfulness and started to lose interest in activities he enjoyed.
