Blushed cheeks

[Shakinginnc]

Has anyone had an issue with your cheeks always being pink? I have noticed that mine are constantly blushed. I am not sure if this has anything to do with PD (I am very newly diagnosed) I could really use some feedback . Thank you for being there for each other.

When describing her trauma Miss Andrews turned a deep red. Her mind was going somewhere it did not want to go, panic issued. That is me dealing with anxiety. See her neck, they tried to cover the blush with makeup.

That poor girl! I wake up with rosy cheeks so it’s not from stress or anxiety. Although I do get very red during those moments. Thank you for responding.

[Serenity_finaly-1 in reply to Shakinginnc]

I wake up with anxiety and then spend most of the day treating it.

It can be hormonal?

[Shakinginnc]

I try not to get anxious ,but sometimes its hard.I take antidepressants and they help.

Might be worth looking up 'Rosacea'.

[Shakinginnc]

Thank you M_rosew I will look into Rosacea.

[Serenity_finaly-1 in reply to Shakinginnc]

Just don't spend too much on a cure, I took years to get my rosacea under control.

How did you get your rosacea under control?

[Serenity_finaly-1 in reply to NRyan]

Cannabis

[NRyan in reply to Serenity_finaly-1]

oil rubbed on it? oil ingested? There is no way on God's green earth that you will get me to believe smoking pot got rid of rosacea. I have been battling rosacea for 20 years. Inhaling pot would not eliminate it. lol!

I talked to my sister who is a nurse and she said that she doesn’t think it is rosacea . She thinks that my blood pressure is high again since my DR. told me to wean off my propranolol. I guess it make sense because my BP was on the high side even while taking it.

Mine have been lately, but only after I started taking all the vitamins and supplements everybody suggested. I had a total hysterectomy very early, so no hormone influence there.

[Shakinginnc in reply to NancyJHP]

Thank you for mentioning that because I to am taking vitamins and supplements and had a partial hysterectomy at forty, I am now 61 so I don’t think that hormones are affecting me either.Maybe it’s all connected.

[NancyJHP in reply to Shakinginnc]

MIne started about a month ago when I added the magnesium and B12 to my vitamin and supplement regimen, it has to be one of the two. I've never had a hot flash in my life and I skipped menopause, my ovaries left with the hysterectomy. Some doctors like to blame every ailment female patients have on menopause, and it isn't fair. I see your name is shakinginnc, I live just north of Charlotte, and I'm still trying to find a good neurologist. Somebody told me about one in Chapel Hill, but that's pretty far for me to go, although I might need to.

[Shakinginnc]

I have been taking vitamin B12 daily for about four years , I also had B12 shots prior to that for a deficiency so maybe that’s what is causing it. I live in Chocowinity (eastern NC) and go to a Neurologist in Greenville, She has a private practice, she is a bit of a nut case but has done so much more for me than my last Neurologist ever did. I hope you find one that you are comfortable with who can help you.

[NancyJHP]

What sort of things has she done for you? My last three neurologists weren't much help.

[Shakinginnc in reply to NancyJHP]

She tested me for neuropathy which she found that I have. I had tons of blood work ups (they check everything) she sent me for an MRI and found damage in my neck. She sent me to PT for my neck and for gate training.

My old Neurologist didn’t do squat and told me that it was just essential tremors which run in my family, and I did have but developed into PD.He told me that “it might be an embarrassment but I’ll live with it ,other people have bigger issues than you. I am going to refer you for a psych work up” That was the last time I went to him!!!

[NancyJHP in reply to Shakinginnc]

Gee, sounds exactly like the last neurologist I went to, I'd think it was the same guy if I knew you didn't live so far away. What I love about this website is that people actually give you ideas about what you can do to alleviate symptoms and make life more tolerable. My feet cramped up so bad I couldn't even walk when getting up a few months ago, my toes would curl up underneath, now I don't have that problem because I've been taking the magnesium, and that's just one issue I've been able to fix, there are many more. What is gate training?

Shakinginnc:

Are you still going to the same neurologist? I go to Greenville as well and am having trouble finding a good one. I think I have been to all of them in the Greenville area. I would like to go to a movement disorder specialist, but they are so far away. Do you have a movement specialist?

[Shakinginnc]

Gate training helps you to walk better, I take very short steps and use a cane because I don’t feel very steady. PT work with you to take bigger steps they put a belt around your waist and hang on to it to give you support. It helped for awhile but I am back to taking small steps again😳
