Irregular heart beat
My husband has had Parkinsons for 6 years. He takes Sinemet and entacapone. Shortly after taking his medication (every 3hours) he feels very weak . When I check his BP it is often very low and shows "irregular heart beat" I feel it is the medication rather than "off" time. I don't often contribute to

Not catching up
Forgive me, dearfolk, but I haven't got it in me to go back and catch up on all the posts. I'm out of hospital as of yesterday, and I see my psychiatrist tomorrow. I've started taking cisamet (also called nabilone and something even more unpronounceable) and it's working on my pain. I'm a little floaty

Knowledge is Power: understanding our medications.
Since having PD I have become just a little obsessed with reading and understanding all I can about it and this is a bit of what I have learned. I hope it is useful to somebody. I was going to put some of this in a reply post but it is general information. It is not meant to be advice about your

Gout
Haw can a trainee GP miss gout? My last gout attack was two years ago, it happened again while overseas? Why?. A trainee GP sent me for an x-ray and pain killing medication. The next day I rang the surgery and asked for gout medication and it is getting better now. All I am trying to understand why is

Paraffin wax
Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good paraffin wax machine to use as a form of therapy? I have been told that it can help with pain and swelling and provide some comfort.

Still moving forward at GP Practice!
Had to go to see about when to take my Gout tablets as the AB's for the lung infection has done its job at last. I am showing a good O2 at the surgery so they are happy. Until I throw in the fact that once I go out in the cold I am struggling and I still cannot do anything above making a hot drink

I think I have changed practices?
Had to get an emergency appointment last night as my AB was going to run out and I was feeling no better. The gout is refusing to go just to keep me off my toes, but the arcoxia that gets rid of it gives me a gooey chest so I made the educated decision to keep off them. Only a 30 minute wait from my

Anyone taking inosine now and not waiting for trials?
Hi. A query about taking inosine to boost low uric acid levels in people w/early stage PD as a way to reduce symptoms and gain some neuroprotection. Phase III trials coming next year (link below) With inosine available OTC for a pittance there’d been some discussion here about trying it now and not

I wake up about every 20 to 30 mins at night and stretch out tight until my calves cramp up. I've been like this for months now and I have now started

Swelling in knee
Hi all I occasionally have swelling in my left knee, it's painful, stiff and itches. I have been given arcoxia 90mg by my doctor and it doesn't seem to be going down, it actually feels like it's swelling more. I'm trying to rest but really cannot afford time off work. Any ideas how to help the swelling

Hi friends.... Back from 3 lovely weeks in Tenerife.We met up with 2 separate lots of friends during the first 2 weeks and the 3rd week just chilled out. Fortunately the dreaded gout settled and hubby went back on allopurinol at 300mg and it seems to be doing the trick.... no further flare-ups of gout
