Congratulations on your 100th episode! It's fun going back and seeing what your team has done. Keep up the good work. As a caregiver I get valuable insights in understanding PD.

Congratulations all! Love your podcast! You are all real & down to earth and present that way. 👍👏. I’ll look for you in Arizona! I agree with Brian. You make it more about the condition (I struggle with using disease) of Parkinson’s yet I feel you are friends. I’m 14 years in on the PD journey. Keep up the great work! 🥰

I discovered your channel recently and I love to watch you guys. Lot of good information and is good to see people with PD talking about their routine. I don’t know nobody who has PD. I was diagnosed with PD 10 years ago and for almost 8 years I hidden my symptoms. I’m Brazilian and I have been living here ( Massachusetts/ Martha’s Vineyard) for 17 years. I don’t speak English very well but I understand everything when I’m watching the podcast. My symptoms stared getting worse and I m preparing do have DBS surgery. The DbS was scheduled for July/ 2023 but I cancelled because I was worried about. I have learned so much with you guys 🙏🏻❤

I can only imagine how scary DBS would be. I'm glad you found our channel. Good luck to you!

I am still learning about PD as I have a more recent diagnosis. These Talk, really?Help me to understand what's happening and what might happen.

Every person living with PD experiences different symptoms at different times. But check out all our videos @thesecretlifeofparkinsons. There are also other places like The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Parkinson's Foundation, Davis Finney Foundation, and the Brian Grant Foundation.

I just now discovered your channel. I have PD and was doing my usual research. Congratulations on your 100th episode and thanks for what you do. If possible I'd like to share some new experiences I've had and it's a bit lengthy so just tried to message Jessica and Brian but is there a best practice to communicate with you?

My sister has just been diagnosed. They think she has had it for two years. She is 79. She has a mild case, they told her but she has symptoms that she is very concerned about. She does have tremors in her hands, face, and sometimes in her legs and feet. Her voice seems to go on occasion. Her writing is declining. Her gait is improving with rigorous exercise; walking, a stationary bike, Parkinson's brain exercises, and speech therapy online. She has some questions about the drugs they want her to take (she doesn't want to). Can a person take meds for a few days to see if it works to clear some symptoms, and then stop the meds? She wants to see if it has an effect at all to take the drugs and if so, which drugs are most recommended? Also, which of you are on Sinemet? How often per day and for how many years have you taken it? Is it working? Also, Have any of you experienced a kind of brain fog? My sister says it is constantly in her brain and she wants it to go away, feels like cobwebs. It creates confusion and imbalance.

@thesecretlifeofparkinsons 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I am on Sinemet. That is the gold standard medication that most people take. I've been taking it for 3 years and yes it is extremely helpful to me! They usually start people off by taking 1/2 pill 3 times a day until you can work your way up to a full pill 3 times a day (if you go all in right away chances of nausea as a side effect would occur). But you won't notice an immediate change. At least I didn't. Mine was probably 4-6 weeks. But it was one of those things that I kind of stopped thinking about my symptoms only to realize I stopped thinking as much about them because I wasn't experiencing them due to the meds kicking in. I used to have brain fog as well, but reducing stress, exercising and medication seemed to help alleviate that. The doctor would probably want her to be on it for at least 6 months I would guess before making a decision to come off of it. But as it was in my case, once I started it, I didn't want to come off because of the benefit I was experiencing. Hope this helps.
