Balancing act -parkinson's and dehydration

[surfgirlhj]

Hi guy..

I worked in medicine 30 years...I have great doctors, but they all missed dehydration. I brain was slow...weak and cramps in legs..arms..and toes. Hammer toe...the drs. Said it was parkinson's and pushed more pills .even both they said. BS I say. A smart friend said eat Morton s lite salt. Cramp went away.brain working better. Sinise cab dehydrate and cause heat stroke. Intent heat is bad for parkinson's. ..Carbo do a levsdopa dry u out too .so electrolyte r not ever in balance. Drink Gadoade or pedilyte or Morton lye salt . Keep that blood pressure normal and monitor. See if u feel better. Helped me alot.

IF YOU ARE ON SALT RESTRICTION BECAUSE OF HBP ARE PEDIALITE OR LITE SALT OKAY?

I have to look into this. I take Furosemide (a diuretic) for my blood pressure. I think I'm going to have get some adjusting on my meds. I was just diagnosed with PD last week. There is so much to think about!
