reasons for bad balance/dizzziness

[pmmargo]

I have identified 5 possible reasons for dizziness/lack of balance.

1. decreasing rasagiline too quickly

2. too much carbidopa

3. nOH (neurogenic orthostatic hypotension) Can be caused by rasagilene+rytary)

4. side effect of midodrine (increases when combined with rasagiline)

5. BPPV (a sort of vertigo mentioned by Dr. Bas Bloem)

Any experience with Revastigmine for balance?

[MBAnderson]

PD progression is a likely cause too

Pramipexole caused syncope and extreme balance problems resulting in falls. Got him off it and he is normal again!

my hwp is experimenting now with droxidopa bc of extreme low BP. He has orthostatic hypotension. Both stalevo and rytary bring BP down. I supplement with midodrine along with droxidopa. It’s a constant battle as I take his BP all day long to avoid falls!

Ataxia. Central or cerebellar. I have both. Hallmark of organophosphate poisoning.

I harp on this ALL. THE. TIME. Neurodegenerative "diseases" are a toxic syndrome and they are related.

DETOXIFY. Modified citrus pectin is a good one to add to your stack. I wish I could find an organic product. Citrus is notorious for chemical farming.
