Finding Joy in Parkinson's
Hi, my name is Kathleen Mier. I am a Cajun from South Louisiana. My husband was diagnosed about three years ago. I am convinced that he had Parkinson's for several years before diagnosis. Louis and I have been married for almost 47 years and many years ago, he became delusional about my "hitting"

Parkinsons / Parkinsonism ?
Our current GP is away until the New Year but the one at present is treating him for Parkinsons/
Parkinsonism
and put him on Sinemet (12.5mg / 50mg) without a proper diagnosis. We are awaiting an appointment at the hospital for a Neurologist . We are hoping that this is all meds related.

Dental work while on Leflunomide
I am taking currently 8mg Predisone and 10mg Leflunomide Arava and feel very well with it. Now I need to extract the last upper tooth because I have an inflammation under the crown. After 6 months my dentist plans a sinus lift, bone augmentation before he will places an implant. Has anybody done that

The Dark Side of Curcumin (Turmeric)
Curcumin is the active ingredient found in turmeric which has been said to have many beneficial properties; including a significant anti-inflammatory response. Unfortunately, it is not bioavailable (meaning you cannot absorb it into your system orally) and most of the claimed benefits have only been

Thyroid Supplements
There are alot of supplements on the market which have vitamins that claim to assist on thyroid working properly. Can these supplements be taken with Levo? My doctor advised me not to take L-tyrosine with Levo, But when the Pharmacist says it should be safe to take together. Almost all the thyoid support

Sinemet and Lexapro
Another wrinkle in the sinemet saga. Three months after my diagnosis and my starting on the Sinemet I started taking Lexapro, 10 milligrams a day. My PD presents with lots of anxiety and depression and pain and movement problems but not tremor. In looking back at my journal I realize things really started

Parkinson’s Disease: A Detective Story
A Review of the book BRAIN STORMS by JON PALFREMAN The plot thickened when autopsies in Sun City showed that many patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s didn’t actually have the disease. Researchers are looking for biomarkers that may eventually allow early diagnosis and treatment of the disease years

Do I have Parkinson's or not?
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2009. In 2010, on the recommendation of my Neurologist, I started treating my symptoms with Carbo/Levo 25/100. One half tab three times a day. After three months there was little change to my symptoms and things actually appeared to be getting worse. We began titrating

The Fight Against Parkinson's Disease
Most of you on this site know I’ve been doing Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) for 10 years now. This is a non-contact boxing program that also incorporates balance, strength and endurance exercises. It’s not your “normal” boxing program because everyone there has PD just like you. You can go there and workout

Prescribed the patch. Anyone else using it?
My Doc prescribed the neupro 4 mg/24 hr patch. I have just started it and feel a little nauseous. What results have others had with this? Note: This is also called Rotigotine Transdermal System. Thanks, Wil

Lavender oil
I think someone recently posted that lavender oil was estrogenic. I have received this link from my Naturopath - http://roberttisserand.com/2013/02/lavender-oil-is-not-estrogenic/ So it is quite safe for anybody to use.

Cannabis oil
I've seen couple of videos on FB showing how cannabis oil helps calm tremors. Anyone using it? Also would it be safe to take alongside rasagiline? And is hemp oil the same thing?! Thanks Marc
