Is end stage Parkinson's painful?
Although there are some differences among studies, the leading causes of death in PD were reported to be neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, and infection (4–6).Palliative Care

Also known as supportive care, is a care approach that helps people with Parkinson's and care partners plan for the future, manage non-movement symptoms and provide an extra level of support for emotional, social, spiritual and other challenges.When patients reach stage five – the final stage of Parkinson's disease – they will have severe posture issues in their back, neck, and hips. They will require a wheelchair and may be bedridden. In end-stage of Parkinson's disease, patients will also often experience non-motor symptoms.

Do late stage Parkinson’s patients sleep a lot : Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is described as inappropriate and undesirable sleepiness during waking hours and is a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease, affecting up to 50% of patients.

This condition can affect people with PD, as well as other neurologic conditions.

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is characterized by frequent, uncontrollable outbursts of crying or laughing. It happens when a nervous system disorder, such as PD, affects the brain areas controlling expression of emotion. This disrupts brain signaling and triggers the involuntary episodes.

What happens 10 days before death : Often, people's skin colour changes in the days before death as the blood circulation declines.
