Was wondering whether other people have experienced gut problems prior and since diagnosis of Parkinsons
A number of people appear to link gut problems with Parkinsons. I think I could be one of these. I have had Helibactor Phlori on and off for a number of years and have been told this can cause trouble with the absorption of meds for Parkinsons. The treatment consists of a course of extremely strong antibiotics

Is Parkinsons affecting my immune system?
Has anyone else found that even the simplest things like the common cold last longer and make you feel rotten? I have had a cold, courtesy of my grandaughters, for almost 10 days now. I don't feel any better and my tablets are wearing off earlier than usual. Added to this I am having trouble with

What do they mean by atypical, or stage one????
Atypical Parkinson's, or
Parkinsonism
: Parkinson's disease is also called primary
parkinsonism
or idiopathic Parkinson's disease. (Idiopathic is the term for a disorder for which no cause has yet been identified).The other forms of
parkinsonism
, either the cause is known or suspected.

Are you aware of the Facebook page "Art For Parkinson Disease Research/The Sassy Nail Art Collection?" Open and see my unusual fund raiser.
I developed this art out of my own therapy of painting my nails sassy as a way to control my hand's tremor. With the addition of digital photography and photoshop, I raised over $4000 giving my framed art to people who donate $50 to APDA for funding PD research. If you are interested, I would love

Quality of life are you prepared to make the changes?
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 8 years ago and for the first two years wallowed in self pity ( perfectly understandable ).I had been told I had an incurable degenerative disease I was 47 .So how did I get from that place to completing the Dublin Marathon 2011 and walking it in 6 hours 54 mins and

GDNF - Back to the future?
In the early part of this decade Stephen Gill at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol conducted a small clinical trial that should have changed the face of pharmacotherapy for Parkinson's. The drug in question was GDNF (Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor), a naturally occurring brain constituent, administered

Children of the Corn who smoked Weed in the 70's or How I encountered PD causing Neuro-toxins
I grew up in central Illinois and like many Midwest kids, I de-tassled corn every Summer. Now I wonder if the Summer job that paid for my first car, also contributed to my PD or if it was the pot i smoked in the 70's? Research shows a link between exposure to two pesticides, rotenone and paraquat

I just discovered this, don't know if I'm delusional but it makes me very happy, How's that for a lure?
Most mornings my dog, Olivia, and I go for a walk. We greet neighbors, look for as many varieties of birds as we can find, talk to my daughter in IL and have a pretty good time. Last month I got a new iPhone 4. When I was talking to Robin (the daughter not a bird) she asked me why I didn't use the

A New - Old Drug That Is Making a Major Difference for Me
I have long been convinced that there are nuggets of gold buried in the massive accumulation of 40 years of research that has built up since Ldopa took the stage. Common sense tells me that it is not possible for such a huge amount of data spread over several disciplines to build up without overlooking

For the baby boomers-Do you think recreational drug use in the 60s.70s contributed to PD?
During the late 1970s, a controversial program sponsored by the US government sprayed paraquat on marijuana fields in Mexico.Since much of this marijuana was subsequently smoked by Americans, the US government's "Paraquat Pot" program stirred much debate. Perhaps in an attempt to deter people from using

Haloperidol - Do you know what this is and if not, you need to...
Hi - I am rather new here and so far, am liking it a lot. I was misdiagnosed with lupus when I was 32 and eventually was correctly diagnosed with YOPD. Looking back, I can see the progression of PD, while thinking it was lupus and why was I not seeing a change while being treated. Tricky diseases.
