From the Davis Phinney Foundation publication “Every Victory Counts”:
“Some of the non-motor symptoms you may experience with Parkinson’s are connected to the effects Parkinson’s has on your autonomic nervous system, which regulates functions your body automatically does, like controlling blood pressure, managing sweat and temperature, managing digestion, and controlling heart rate. Parkinson’s impacts on the autonomic nervous system can cause non-motor symptoms that include:
• Constipation
• Overactive bladder and incontinence
• Sexual dysfunction, especially erectile dysfunction
• Excessive salivation (drooling)
• Excessive or too little perspiration
• Pain
• Sleep
• nOH (lightheadedness, especially when getting up in the morning or rising from a chair or couch)”

BTW, this is a fabulous resource.

Found one, look up Parkinson's disease and body odor. According to AI we all stink. However luckily we've lost our sense of smell.

Night sweats, day sweats…yes…I assume it’s the autonomic nervous system gone awry.
