Did anyone find symptoms got worse and developed due to diagnosis? More saliva, blurred speech, swallowing etc..
hi hilary
no! in fact diagnosis (of PSP) explained so many of my symptoms
i felt much better 4 knowing the devil
love jill
and a
same here...dx and treatment ended my depression!
I'm still sick, mind you, but feel much better!
Maybeb your meds are wrong, that happens all the time.
Havent started any meds yet. Have been tryibg natural things. Do they help the side effects of pk as well as the stiffness? Or only tremor?
i do have the saliva problems but think its due to the meds. just started having the problem when i took mirplex, i off of that and on requip doesnt seem as bad. my speech is slow only at times, when tired and i think that is PD but just started having those problems and i had PD 8 yrs. not progressing to fast.
I was relieved to get diagnosis. Thought it was something worse. 9 year now. Some symptoms are worse. My problem has been injuries too many to list here. PD takes a pain and RUNS with it. I'm interested in any natural remedies. I know exercise is great!
i think there are things you can take that are natural and i tried that for a long time and didnt want to give in to meds. but after awhile for me, i had to get on meds to function and be able to work and enjoy my life. i still take certain things vitamins that help a lot but i would be in a lot of pain if not for meds, hate to say that but i had to give into them but everyone is different.
Im sorry..i have no pain as yet..just muscle cramps. I was diagnosed in france and am now in uk awaiting neurology appt.. They tested nerves down my arm recently and they were fine sadly..as hoped it was trapped nerve causing finger tremor..
I take vit e, co enzyme q 10 and omega 3 s and rtre from naturpath. Homeopath has given me xray so far. A cupuncture helps with balancing both sides of body. I do hatha yoga and aqua classes for seniors and do shoulder stretching. Also try to practise dance steps or exercise bike for coordination.
Want to find speech therapist as they help..do not open my mouth enough when I talk and also slur speech when tired.
I.m not as angelic at keeping to it and get low and think whats the point and eat chocolate!,
i used to workout a lot but harder to now but hubby and i took dogs out in the woods for a few hours and walked a lot, we also were in the dominic republic this month we did some cliff jumping and down steep water falls, it was great. i thought that i couldnt do it because the walk up the hill was an hour but did it. just when you think you cant, you can at least i did. i feel better when im moving, it hurts to stop and start back up. my point is keep trying and never give up. we all are getting older and its harder but that is true for all its just makes it harder with PD. keep doing what your doing and dont stop! vitamins make me feel better too!
Thanks. Your holiday sounds great. I always feel tired after exercise for the rest of the day and sometimes the next day. W alks on the sea front are good. If i stop for a drink then I feel stiff to get up and get going again!

Speech and swallowing problems are caused by the condition and not by meds. In my experience meds help all these things.
