Law firms working to help victims of Manganese Poisoning across the country

If you work in the welding rod industry and have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you may want to consider seeking a second opinion. Levodopa treatment may not work for you, because you may be suffering from manganism rather than Parkinson’s disease. If this is the case, you may be eligible for a free manganese poisoning screening.

It is important to remember that levodopa and Sinemet only reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. If these drugs do not alleviate your symptoms, then you may be suffering from some other disease with symptoms that are similar to Parkinson’s disease. Once such disease is manganism, which is caused by excessive exposure to manganese (manganese poisoning). People who are involved in the welding industry are especially prone to manganism. If you are a welder who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and are being treated with levodopa with no success, you may be suffering from manganism.

Manganism, or manganese poisoning, is often the result of exposure to welding fumes. Manganism is characterized by mental difficulties and the impairment of motor skills.

Symptoms of Manganism include:

* Tremors
* Awkward gait
* Abnormal balance
* Memory loss
* Impairment of motor skills
* Slurred speech
* Lack of facial expression
* Sleep disorders
