Moving Forward with Neuropathy
6 years ago my feet began feeling tingly and burning. Now they are completely numb up to my knees. My legs are weak and even with exercise and weights, I cannot get them stronger. I'm wondering if the weakness is a neurological issue. I e had a Laminectomy in my low back but received no relief from that

Thinking of switching to Gabapentin or Pregabalin
I had an absolutely horrible night last night. I take 2mg of Ropinirole but took an extra one last night. It's very ineffective and causes me all sorts of weird problems like confusion and cursing in a kind of semi-conscious daze. Which is best, Gabapentin or Pregabalin, and how much would I have to

The 'Brain Energy Gap' and its possible implication on the progress of PD.
Has anyone else seen the work of Professor Stephen Cunnane on the 'brain energy gap' and its implications for PD, Alzheimers and cognitive impairment? I've put a link to one of his talks below, but to summarise: - Cognitive impairment and brain health in PD, Alzheimers, is due in part to an 'brain

Change to diet
Plodding along for years with T2, first metformin but now insulin twice per day. Reasonably good diet, try to avoid added or high sugar, although carbs can be my downfall, mostly active, low alcohol consumption. Blood glucose readings fairly consistent, though slightly above target and keep nudging

Dopamine
I just read that dopamine is made in the adrenals I had not heard this in the past so I am wondering what does this all mean? So maybe there is dopamine being made but the cells can't use it properly? "Dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine are the main catecholamines (a label based on having part

Neuropathy & showering........ 🚿
Has anybody else noticed that taking a shower triggers their neuropathy ? I have tried all different temperatures but still I suffer the burning and stinging in my lower limbs. I wondered if it could be due to the force of the water hitting the nerve's that is triggering it !

Sue, Did I read correctly in your gabapentin template that you can take magnesium at the same time as pregabalin?

Out today - Diabetes drug may slow progression of Parkinson’s
The results reveal that after 12 months, those given lixisenatide showed essentially no progression of motor problems, while those given the placebo showed worsening symptoms, dropping around three points on the 132-point assessment scale – a modest difference, yet thought to be clinically meaningful

Gabapentin to pregabalin
Morning Sue. I persuaded my doctor to let me try pregabalin again, he is going to start me on 75mg pregabalin twice a day, is that ok as I am taking 1800 gabapentin at the moment? I am a little nervous as I thought it should be 300mg pregabalin. Thanks in advance.
