SCA6 Tremors in hands
Hello, I apologize if this has been asked before but I have not found anything in previous posts that apply to me. The tremor in my hands I believe is Intention tremor, also known as cerebellar tremor and it has been getting worse. I cannot write much; it takes all my effort to sign documents and my

Methylation and PD
It is suggested, therefore, that increased methylation may be an inducing factor in
parkinsonism
. Accordingly, the effects of an increase in methylation in the brain of rats were studied.

A newbie with PSP needs advice!
The DAT scan came back as “probable
Parkinsonism
” and my neurologist told me it was most likely “a-typical
Parkinsonism
”. A short search on Google told me that PSP was probably the diagnosis that I would be given. And then, my neurologist changed his affiliation, and I could no longer see him.

5-HTP
Who is finding 5-HTP useful? For what? At what dosage? I've read that it boosts serotonin, helping anxiety, depressIon and tremors, but that smaller doses work better than larger ones.

Be prepared for doctor's appointment
I have been here since 2004 and finally diagnosed in 2010 after Tremor came out in my hand at the end of 2009. I definitely agree that a movement disorder specialist is an asset to receiving a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Things you can do to prepare for an appointment: Write down any symptoms you're

I was diagnosed 18 months ago and have stayed off the Pharmaceuticals up till now. I am 65 and I live in Australia, home of a myriad of opinions froms very conventional neurologists to CBD oil proponents. I am traveling to the UK for a month next week. I am interested in being the guinea pig for any

Cannabis for Parkinsons and Dystonia
I had a long chat today with a dispensary employee. He gave me interesting information I wanted to share with you. First he said CBD may be oil, cream, or other product that is smoked. All CBD has at least trace amounts of THC. However you can get CBD which has almost all THC removed. CBD does

The benefits of exercising to music
One aspect of Parkinson's is the body's desire not to move, which it achieves by reducing dopamine production and freezing, rigidity and bradykinesia. Playing loud, low, beat-y music at between 100-120 beats per minute while you exercise eliminates the freezing response and allows you to move much more
