'The Science of Motivation'
A slightly dated (Dec., 2013), but timeless article about the multiple roles of dopamine (or lack thereof) with a focus on that of motivation. It may be of interest to those of us who occasionally have a tough time getting out of bed in the morning or off the sofa in the middle of the day. It presents

RLS remedies that worked for mom
My mom has had RLS since her pregnancy 30yrs back. She managed by 'walking it off' at nights for 20 odd yrs before she actually consulted a neurologist who prescribed requip. She had blissful time for 4-5 yrs with sleep she had missed so badly for years. Sadly as seen commonly augmentation set in and

levodopa and dopamine agonists’ treatment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients can become ineffective to control involuntary movements. Laboratory studies on PD animal models suggest that physical training may help to alleviate these symptoms offering an alternative form of therapy. http://parkinsonsnewstoday.com

Sugar & alcohol reduce tremors? Undiagnosed diabetes?
Has anyone noticed their resting tremor reduces with a good dose of sugar or alcohol? Like a soda (11 teaspoons of sugar) or a full beer (4 teaspoons of alcohol). The idea is that cells which are not able to produce much energy from compromised mitochondria can function better on a sugar or alcohol

Fast-Talking, Fast-Walking Contradiction
A couple short years ago, the ever vociferous John Pepper stated, "MAO-b inhibitors are capable of slowing down the progression of Pd. No other type of medication can, to the best of my knowledge, achieve this. As a non-medical person with Pd, I would like to know why this is not the best way to deal

Amphetamines in Chocolate and Aderall may cause Parkinson's, but reduce symptoms
Amphetamines like Aderall are implicated in causing Parkinson's as well as reducing symptoms. The way it might cause PD is by "wearing out" the dopamine system, but it also has been shown to act like pesticides and actually cause the bad a-syn protein to form. In looking at this, I came across two

Ritalin and Parkinson's
Has anyone had experience with Ritalin? (methylphenidate ) I'm surprised I had not heard of it being used in PD before, given the benefits they report. It helps quality of life, mood, apathy, and facial dystonia, but has primarily been used for improving gait and reducing freezing. It is a dopamine

Stem cell jab for Parkinson's "Daily mail 15/9/15"
Stem cells from unfertilised, donated human eggs are being used to treat Parkinson's disease. Foetal stem cells have been used before, but this new method avoids the ethical issues in using human embryos. In a trial in Australia 12 patients with moderate to severe Parkinson's will have a single dose

Tramadol
Hi everyone I haven't been in touch for some time now but I'd like to know how much Tramadol most people who are on it take. As I can't take ANY of the Dopamine drugs (or patches) my G.P. suggested Tramadol. I take three at the moment one at 4.p.m.one at 6p.m. and one at 8p.m. Then at 10.p.m. I take

New Help for Parkinson Drug Side Effects
Victims of Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer involuntary body movements that are a side effect from the medication most commonly used to treat the disease.

Mirapex withdrawl
Anyone considering going on mirapex I would advise a strong NO. After ramping up in dose for close to 20 years I find I am going nuts trying to get off of it. My doctor has me on a neurontin based med called Horizant ER. It seems to be helping the RLS but depresssion due to the lack of dopamine is

Pic & Pencil Therapy for Depression & Chronic Pain
Hi everyone. I told my friend who suffers from severe depression & is on several medications about the adult coloring books I wrote about earlier. No joke here. Some of authors of these books are licensed therapists who practice art therapy with folks in hospitals, mental health facilities, senior homes

Hi all, I was hoping for some advice on an ongoing situation. For some time now (over 3years), I have been experiencing the following: - difficulty losing weight, regardless of eating habits and exercise - cold extremities - either too hot or too cold - thinning hair (although may be MPB) - constant
