For the baby boomers-Do you think recreational drug use in the 60s.70s contributed to PD?
During the late 1970s, a controversial program sponsored by the US government sprayed paraquat on marijuana fields in Mexico.Since much of this marijuana was subsequently smoked by Americans, the US government's "Paraquat Pot" program stirred much debate. Perhaps in an attempt to deter people from using

Shopaholic!!
The catastrophic effects of becoming a shopaholic will literally be the death of me. Whilst being treated with Requip, which is a Dopamine Agonists from 2003-2005 I turned into a monster!! I began to shop more and more, buying things that I couldn't afford or even needed. I became an expert in

All fellow travelers on this boat called Parkinson's we have written in stone in our memory and soul a date: the day of diagnosis. That day changed everything. There is a before and after in our lives on that day. The person who entered the office of the neurologist only looks like that one who

I wanna new Drug (one that won't make me sick)
You said it Huey; one that won't make me crash my car or make me feel three feet thick. Sounds like Mr. Lewis had some knowledge of Parkinson's drugs. MIRAPEX a nonergot dopamine agonist, was the first drug prescribed for me.Side effects include: extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, even

A New - Old Drug That Is Making a Major Difference for Me
I have long been convinced that there are nuggets of gold buried in the massive accumulation of 40 years of research that has built up since Ldopa took the stage. Common sense tells me that it is not possible for such a huge amount of data spread over several disciplines to build up without overlooking

??I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike??
The Spirit of Freddy Mercury must have been singing in the ear of Cleveland Clinic biomedical engineer, Jay Alberts, PhD. During Tandem ride across Iowa, Dr. Alberts pedaled the lead position on a tandem bicycle with a woman with Parkinson's disease. Before the ride, the woman was suffering from hand

Imagine for a moment
Imagine for a moment that you are under fifty,healthy,vital and one day your thumb starts to twitch. It's annoying but tolerable, It only twitches when your hands are completely at rest so you ignore it.Six months later your little finger starts to twitch too. Suddenly your hand seems to have a mind

Slim, Fast, Lose the Shake
Could getting thin slow the progression of Parkinson's? A new study, by Mark P. Mattson of the National Institute on Aging indicates that a long-term low calorie diet might offer protection from Parkinson's disease in monkeys. Researchers fed one group of monkeys the low calorie diet for six months

As easy as riding a bike
One of the most striking aspects of Parkinson's disease is the capacity for cerebral compensation. By that I mean that alternative pathways and strategies are found to ensure that function is preserved. We already know for instance that between 80 and 90% of all striatal dopamine must be lost before

Letter to My Family and Friends about Parkinson's
I have Parkinson's Disease. It is not contagious or hereditary. No one knows what causes it, but some of the dopamine cells in the brain begin to die at an accelerated rate. Everyone slowly loses some dopamine cells as they grow older. If the cells suddenly begin to die at a faster rate, Parkinson's
