There are claims that the carnivore diet reversed PD. Would be interested in an episode on this.

Was diagnosed three years ago. Male, will be 72 in August. Have depression, anxiety, apathy, nausea, unsteadiness, severe fatigue, insomnia. I only go out to the doctors or to buy food. I workout every other day. My son and his girl moved in with me. They understand and help. Both of them recently lost their jobs. We are all struggling. My mortgage went up by 400.00. Bills late. Just doing the best I can. One therapist said I need to go out more. I am an introvert. I take no happiness in my hobbies anymore. Few out there understand.

Agreed 100% Of course it’s Parkinson’s related.

I am now searching for that coffee mug.....

Exercises is very important to everyone, and I am committed, but wow it is teaching me something these days, hard lessons. 😂 Is it stiffness or is it yesterdays squats. 🤣

I have 7 hours

Her job

150 minutes cardio far too much That's 5 × 30 minutes sessions. 2-3 strength and 2-3 30 minute cardio sessions is more than enough. It all depends on age 😊

For me exercise is my top priority, I do strength training in my home gym about 3 times a week @ 30 min per session, I row around 9,500 meters a week and lastly, I do cycling out with my road bike about 100 miles per week. Some weeks are a little less some times a little more. I was a runner at one time but PD took that away from me, so I focus on the other areas I can do.

For me three times a week is perfecto but I do none

Thanks for the information.

I have brutal fatigue. I am 71, male diagnosed 3 years ago. Have arthritis in my hands, knees, spine. Lots of nausea. I exercise every other day. I have very interest in doing my hobbies, reading books. I talk to a therapist twice a month. Sometimes I cancel the appt, due to depression and fatigue, I get threatened with being taken off the program

Shortly after I got the Moderna Covid MRNA vaccine I developed tremors when I yawn and when I'm sleeping, which wakes me up. The first Neurologist I went to thought it was related to my cervical spine. The second Neurologist thought it was related to carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve compression, but when I noticed that my left arm wasn't swinging, I insisted on seeing a Movement Disorder Specialist.who diagnosed me with Parkinson's.

Good episode. I'll pass this on to my PD group

I never realised until watching this that I *do* find it harder to roll over or reposition myself in bed at night. Sometimes these changes happen so gradually they go unnoticed until you stop and think about it.

Interesting... do you have to buy the flat & fitted sheets separately? It appears like you do. So are the pajama top and bottom sold separately also?

I can relate to fatigue and constant changes. Bad nights are the worse!

Do you think if I have DBS I could play golf again?

Great news. I really hope this helps

this is one of your best pod cast to date with martha. i have been doing reseach on the gut also. excellent job

I have gone to 3 doctors. One said I had a stroke. But I didn't one said I had old legs one said one said I had a pinched nerve. I have balance loss and other things

I wish my movement specialist was like yours. He does not want to talk to me about my PD or the meds or my condition. He works out of the same office as my last MD but it's different trying to talk to him. I am wondering if my age is part of this problem. I just turned 85 last month. I stopped working in Dec. and feel like I am going down hill since.

Thats right my shakes bad after workout 30 minutes then ok lreland

Your podcasts have been so helpful ! Thank you so much ! I wish I had known about the exercise that I would need to do. The Drs just say exercise but they don’t explain the type needed to help keep the progression away. Rock Steady Boxing I found 3 years ago , but really wish I had known about it at the time of my diagnosis back in 2018. 😊

you have to reinvent a sleep routines & exercise because PD makes it so difficult

Woo hoo! Happy birthday to Brian as well!!

Awesome!! & Happy Birthday Brian!! What a great coincidence!! ❤❤

Let Michael J. Fox know about this. He's got at least 40 more years left in his life.

You mentioned that you had a medication change that helped. Was that a dosage change or a different medication? I relate so much to your dystonia symptoms.

This is great news!!❤🎉😊

I’m GREAT too! GREAT

My left hand has the death grip on the steering wheel every time I drive and my right is loose goose.

The majority of people have no clue what Parkinsons is or what we go through

Bravo!

I have very bad insomnia. I am in bed 10 to 13 hours. Have constipation, bone pain, bad fatigue.

❤

Sounds like driving to the Mayo Clinic 6 hours thinking they have more info....a plan of action and.....expertise.......ended up.....a waste of time

You mention probiotics, what should I be taken. At present I’m not taken anything. I was having a yogurt every morning and somewhere i read or someone told me I shouldn’t eat yogurt.

I sure appreciate your show. It’s so helpful!

at 10:52 you talk about probiotics what does it do for you?

Great article below

Hi Jessica! You mentioned that you have a friend in Philadelphia who had just received Botox injections. My movement disorder specialist is in Philadelphia and when I asked him about the possibility of Botox injections for my tremor, he was hesitant/non-committal. So I’m wondering if you would be able to tell me where your friend went for her Botox injections and who performed them for her? I would like to explore this Botox option because I am tremor dominant and my left arm is starting to be painful (due to the constant tremors, irritating the muscles), inhibiting my ability to work out/move smoothly without pain. Thank you in advance for Any suggestions you can offer me about getting Botox in Philadelphia (or anywhere in eastern or central Pennsylvania for that matter)!

Six months post diagnosis and after trying many different meds that weren't working, my MDS started talking DBS. Me, still in denial, wanted to make sure I really did have PD and not something else so I went a functional med doctor. They did not test me for SIBO but after having IBD symptoms for years, they had me to thru the SIBO protocol of herbs, dietary restrictions etc. After going through that, my meds started working. I am sure that I was not absorbing the meds. I am now almost 8 years post diagnosis and although my PD is progressing, it is slow and still no DBS. My meds work well but now wear off way too fast.

excellent review, this is what pd people want to know.. my wife has advanced pd and she is waiting for the abbie 951 pump to get approved by the fda, well its been 3 years and the rejected it for the second year in a row. this is terriable. there are millions of pd suffers out there. im starting to feel like america is going down hill.

please do some research on the extra dopamine left in the brain which becomes toxic to advanced pd please check out doctor johnathan sackner berstein he did a podcast to explain his research . check it out. i think you both would be interested. google away. he has a personal freind that has pd and is trying to help any way possible.he is a cardiologist heart doctor
