Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Machado-Joseph Disease:
The disease is characterized by clumsiness and weakness in the arms and legs, spasticity, a staggering lurching gait easily mistaken for drunkenness, difficulty with speech and swallowing, involuntary eye movements, double vision, and frequent urination. Some patients have dystonia (sustained muscle contractions that cause twisting of the body and limbs, repetitive movements, abnormal postures, and/or rigidity) or symptoms similar to those of Parkinson’s disease. Others have twitching of the face or tongue, or peculiar bulging eyes. (Source: excerpt from NINDS Machado-Joseph Disease Information Page: NINDS)
