see your neuro asap or a cardiologist and take your med list. I may not be the meds there may be other underlying problems hidden by meds
Cheers and goodluck hope it all improves. Have a great… read more
When my fingers are so jerky, I have a hard time hitting the right keys. Sometimes it takes a dozen times, especially to put something in the space bar (is that the right word?) for searching. It doesn’t have words that pop up to help you.
That is an automated teller machine. Have to be able to hold steady enough. Always a crap shoot
I have noticed I smell different especially in the morning and I don’t like it but can’t get away from it
Turns out I just needed a shower. 🤭
Is SINEMET 25-100 the same as carbidopa levodopa 25-100. My basic understanding was that S.... is original drug name and L.... the generic. Taking 8.5 leva/dopa a day for quite sometime with gradually worsening overall condition, feel I should at last acquire from others rather than my neurologist (may I add this is my sixth neuro since diagnosis 10 years ago. Look forward to any replies, and suggestions as to other Parkinson treatment medications, Believe that I have done all I can in the… read more
After going taking my husband to a Neuro dr who admitted she was not really up on Parkensons I waited a year (with Covid coming) to get into a PD specialist. I just feel we lost a lot of valuable… read more
After walking a few miles or doing too much or even going away for the weekend I seem too get nauseous and headachy and don’t feel good, sometimes for a couple days... has anyone else had this experience?
I feel like this too. I can do a little bit and then I’m tired or get a headache. I do better in the mornings. With that said my husband just brought down 5-6 tubas for me to go through and… read more
How do you stay positive in the context of Parkinson’s? What do you do and say to yourself and whatever else to stay positive?A few quick thoughts from me
- I practice mindfulness during the day so that I’m focused on the present, the very immediate present. I practice about 1/2 hour in the morning and maybe once in the afternoon. It also reduces my tremor, but mindfulness is about accepting, not trying to change anything
- Intentionally thinking of gratitude in my life is important.… read more
I’m not traditionally religious. But I do have a positive commitment to make the world better and to help others. But for other activities that help me stay positive I was thinking exercise. I used… read more
Started a few months ago. Bend over a little and well you can guess. Talk about excessive amounts. The excessive amounts, you could blow up a party balloon. The excessive gas is a warning sign of a need for an imminent bowel movement. The gas turns to cramps and you better take it seriously.
It's an embarrassment, is it PD?
Sounds like something I need!
My husband fell. The MRI showed pulled hamstring. He was in so much pain. The ER doc prescribed 2- 5 mg oxy every 8 hours. He was so groggy. He couldn’t walk at all. Slurred speech. I lowered the dose (because no doc would call me back) and he’s much better. Should he taken ocycodonr at all?
my test will come next year when i have both shoulders replaced (second time for left dominant one which failed on firs op in 2016). neuro and Ortho are discussing doing both at once and then putting… read more
Drooling is a common symptom of PD. It was what finally got me to a doctor, thinking I had some type of mild paralysis on one side of my face. From what I understand, it's because we don't swallow… read more
