Has anyone any other tips? Or does this help anyone?
My left hand tremor troubles me at night when I try to get some sleep. I take a slow release madopar capsule at bedtime which takes a while to work. However, I have found that by relaxing as much as I can and counting down from 300 in my head and breathing deeply....it seems to still the tremor. I then think of anything except my PD. If I think of my PD it kicks off again. I now include listening to soft talk radio stations with… read more
When I finally get to sleep my tremors are go away. But I rub a holes on my sheets by my feet. So I guess they must be moving a little.
I live in MN and do have dizzy spells and headaches with PD. However, traveling to Mesa, AZ I am dizzy for at least 6 hours of the day and severe headaches. Do others find different states cause different reactions and symptoms with PD?
I as well. I am sad for you as this is not fun and puts me down for that period of time. Keep positive thoughts and play hard when it is over.
I read a comment somewhere that placing the Neuro patch closer to head, e.g. shoulders, increased drowsiness.
Interesting. Insomnia is a real issue for me plus addictive behavior (impulsive) tied to meds
I was diagnosed with plantars fasciitis in April of last year. I've seen 2 podiatrists but nothing seems to help.
@JamieBlackShephard - I am doing neuro physio exercises called PD Warriors now and that is helping me overall a good deal. They are very good at dealing with physical problems caused or exaceberated… read more
In a seminal research paper, published in Lancet Neurology, researchers from King's College London have used brain scans to uncover early changes in the brain that may happen years before the symptoms of Parkinson's appear.
The study looked at serotonin signalling in the brains of people with extremely rare genetic mutations that meant they had a very high risk of developing Parkinson's in the future.
They showed that changes in serotonin signalling may happen in the earliest stages of… read more
Sounds painful I'm still getting over a broken ankle
...why does it feel like another defeat?☹️
Maria you are wonderful. Thanks for reminding us to look at these changes from a more positive angle😄🙂
Hi everyone. I'm new here.
Question:
What happens if you take expired Sinemet?
When I ask a doctor all they say is don't take expired medication. Does anyone have more information than that?
I know it does not kill you, because I've been doing it.
Thanks!
How long is your Sinemet expired for? Bean
Does anyone receive a discount on their car insurance for no longer driving? I just found out my insurance has actually gone up in price and I feel it should go down since I'm no longer driving.
Thank you for your response! It's most helpful.
Hello team. Have you ever stopped to think about how long a dopamine cell lives? I found several explanations but none of them were what I wanted to hear. Have any of you out there done any research on the dopamine life span? Let's all do a little project together. Let's see what all we can find on the life of dopamine. Because if it's only three minutes what good does it do to try to put or replace dopamine in your system? I think here may lie the subject matter for a cure for Parkinson's. See… read more
It's complicated. First there are at least two types of dopamine "cell"..."makers" and "receptors". You could be deficient in both, or only one.
Of course if your makers are fine, then it's a more… read more
Asking if anyone else has PSP
I have fear, and I know that isn't from God. But it hard not to. I went to my neuro and she said because I am progressing so fast. My eyes are involved where Its hard to see and my eyes bounce around. and can't walk during this time. They said I might have parkinson's plus. Called progressive supranuclear palsy PSP. a degenerative disease involving the gradual deterioration and death of specific volumes of the brain they want me to go to Portland Oregon to a… read more
Is PSP the same thing as parkinsons syndrome?
