Hi
I walk around in the house in socks and often get strange senations that i am walking on wet patches on the carpet but when I check my socks are completley dry,anyone experienced this please?
Weird….. we took out all the carpet in our house last year and replaced with beautiful wood floors throughout. Most of the time I wear socks around but when I am barefoot it is usually in our master… read more
After taking this med I feel like I'm walking around kinda floating ! Not fun.
I just feel 'odd' most of the time and have felt this way long before getting on my PD medication. I'm on c/l but have not noticed a floaty feeling. The off times have become more pronounced though.
I get the same feelings as Dean Mathews Not fun!
Fabulous timing for my fav motivation email service, Positively Positive, to put out this post today:
A Crisis of Purpose Can Be Your Chance to Make Dreams Come True by Karin Sieger
A crisis of purpose can happen when life does not go our way, and we realize it may never go our way. We may feel stuck with few or no options. But wait. It does not have to be this way.

She could have Sundowners now too. Yes it's part of Parkinson's . Can your Mom still walk?
After walking short distances, I often feel that I have to walk faster and faster to maintain my balance. My husband has to quickly guide me to keep me from falling forward. I can't slow down on my own. Comments appreciated.
Les, have you contacted your MDS Neurologist about your balance? You should be going to a physical therapist to work on your balance issues.
I am very concerned about the possible side effects that can be suffered by using the above patches x
I take those patches and the worst thing about them is they itch when you have them on.
Rosemary, you really need to let your doctor know what’s happening because there are other reasons for shallow breathing other than pd. For instance, next time I see my cardiologist this summer, I am… read more
Lately I have been waking up with my body drenched in sweat. Is this typical? Also my ring fingers have been locking up and my hands just hurt. Any suggestions?
Yes, I still have night sweats. But not as often.
I'm on the neupro patch and i don't think its working. I'm still moving slow and stiff. I'm now on 8mg for about a month now. Just need some feed back on the patch . Did it work for you or not?
