Young lady my wife died a year ago and one of the problems was Parkinson and you are helping me to understand what happened .Thankyou so much.

[@johnrowland3105]

I’ve had several scans following mobility issues; constant headaches; neurology referrals….for a year now. And all Doctors seem to tell me is ‘let’s review in six months’ ! Which leaves me with symptoms yet no diagnosis much less advice or even dietary recommendations ! I’ve researched the symptoms I have which has led me here. I’ve learned more in a twenty minute video than from any consult so far ! Thank you

You are not alone, this happens with my grandpa too. I have found on my own through research that inflammation is a huge contributor to all disease and significantly impacts patients with parkinsons. Eating an anti-inflammatory diet would make a drastic relief. I also found a vitamin it's called "Source of Life, Liquid Gold" that by itself has proven more effective than sinemet (at least for my grandpa) when it comes to tremor, gait issues, and speech and constipation.

[@jackwern8685]

Some 8 months ago I hiked with my brother who noticed that I wasn't swinging my arms when walking and that I dragged my feet when tired. He suggested I see my doctor who I haven't consulted in many years as my health had been excellent throughout my working life (to age 69). I am now 76 and before seeing my doctor I researched my conditions and came to the conclusion that I had Parkinson's. I was unable to make an appointment to see a doctor at my surgery and was forced to see a trainee doctor! He didn't think I had the condition and called the senior partner who after ten minutes of inquiries and assessment also said that she didn't think so either. I persisted so she sent me to see a neurologist who did indeed confirm Parkinson's. That was in September 2022 and I haven't seen anyone at the doctor's surgery since. I should mention that I was advised to take statins for my cholesterol - which I refused! Do your own research I say.

Muscle spasms... I was hospitalized for a week with severe muscle spasms... I was not able to even walk. After a week of test, etc... The nurse told me to try vitamin E 400 units a day. And after months of suffering with muscle spasms... Vitamin E cured them in just a couple of days. That's been about 40 years ago and I still take one everyday. No more than 400 units a day.

Still not convinced I have Parkinson's...been 3 years and it feels more like Long Haul Covid. I do have more non motor (hands & feet involuntary movement) taking Carpadova/ Leprodova for tremons early on in the diagnosis. I could not walk unattended the first 2 years of diagnosis and only recently regained that ability( with some gaint problems).Thank you for all you bring to the channel..it certainly is helpful and sooooo informative.

[@suziesuzie9455]

I am not sure I have this either. I do have a lot of the symptoms, but after 27 years I am not much different, apart from dysmotility. I think I may have mitochondrial disease as my initial muscle biopsy results are showing signs of it. Or maybe I have three things wrong. As well as PNKD faulty gene, but they said this was not causing all my symptoms. Or is it that people can be different.

The doctor is saying there is a probable connection between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Parkinson's. If High Dose Thiamine Therapy ( as per Dr. Constantine) halts much progression of Parkinson's and Thiamine deficiency is very much related to the autonomic nervous system including symptoms of gastroparesis maybe the common connection is Thiamine.

I don't eat a lot of food. I can go 3 or 4 days easily without going to the bathroom. Since i am lactose intolerant i tend to eat a bowl of cereal or just drink a glass of milk to go.

[@lisapizzale6466]

Crystal, you may also might try drinking a good quality Bone Broth (either buy at the store or make your own) as it has a TON of nutritional value that you may not be getting from Gatorade and it doesn't have sugar in it. Bone Broth has lots of protein

[@shmatalady5082]

@@lisapizzale6466bone broth is great but for many with Parkinson’s, anything with animal protein affects the results of taking Levodopa. The meds won’t work because animal protein uses the same neurotransmitters as the dopamine. I can’t even have a small amount of dairy in my coffee. It’s so exhausting and tough to deal with.

I would like them to start studying chronic akathisia. I got chronic akathisia from trying medications. I had no idea benzodiazepines could make you this incompatible with life. I have been left tortured alive 4 years off of Klonopin. When I got hurt, and it could be nothing else, I went looking for answers. I found 200,000+ hurt doctors, nurses and patients who had been screaming about this harm online if I’d only looked. Everything that makes akathisia feel better just down regulates you and makes you one notch worse. This iatrogenic harm needs screening before anyone else is hurt. Proper informed consent does not exist. Besides, how can you give informed consent for something so awful you cannot imagine it? How bad is your sleep? How depressed are you?
