hi John, I got diagnosed on April 4 and spent a solid week in shock. And anger and bewilderment. I have been spoiled by perfect health until this. I, like you, am trying to be "positive thinking" and am processing so much research and found that exercise does help alot. Journaling and spiritual readings, stress reduction, vitamin D and B, food and diet seem to be helping. I loved the video too, he seems amazingly compassionate. Three weeks in and getting better slowly and some days no tremors it seems.

As a caregiver of my father with Parkinsons. STAY POSITIVE!! even if you know how to do something keep doing it! It's muscle memory but also your brain talking to your body. Do the boxing!!!! And don't feel ashamed or hesitate on increasing meds as needed. Please reach out, and to even me and I can tell you what I am going through and what my father is going through. 🙏 you got this!

Look into Vitamin B1 and Magnesium combination that may able to reverse or slow Parkinson

@@ritaperez6449 I completely understand bc I’m fighting the same battle. Last winter a bad gallbladder took my body weight down to 73 pounds before diagnosis, removed in September, and has taken until January to gain back up to 87. Had the flu last week of January, getting better but lost back down to 79 pounds. SO much harder to gain a pound than to lose weight. Living alone survival burns off more calories than I’m able to consume, although I don’t keep home as clean as I’d like, stay behind on laundry and order groceries delivered through InstaCart now. Medicare doesn’t cover for help & nobody in this area answers ads for such work. Cleaning and home health companies keep ads up trying to hire CNA’s and all are under staffed, so private help is impossible to hire is impossible to hire here. Did have home health after a couple surgeries, but they only took my stats, cared for my meds, and had a CNA assist with my shower twice a week. Used extra towels, which made more work for me, so I didn’t need her very long fortunately. You are VERY right about keeping a good state of mind, although Parkinson’s in a disease of the brain which disrupts our mobility more with time. Medication does help with the tremors fortunately. Our mind IS our best tool to fight it with is my experience, although they say each of us have different unique experiences. I’ve had too many to get into here, so wish everyone the best going forward. I keep insisting that I have Parkinson’s but Parkinson’s does not have me. Everything that is listed as known symptoms, I have tried to get ahead of, such as trying to stand up straight, sit up straight although my back aches and prefers to slouch forward. Much of that could be from my arthritis as well, because it took me out of work several years before Parkinson’s became an issue. Picking my feet up to put one foot in front of the other requires effort now, rather than to shuffle these short steps, but I keep trying. I really believe that even unseen internal tremors burn calories as exhausting as they are, although I appear to be at rest. Hopefully this information will be of help to someone, as I would like to help others any way possible. But the couple of research places I’ve contacted have only wanted funding from me. The APDF sent a box of books for someone newly diagnosed with PD, which doesn’t apply to me. It was only diagnosed a few years back, in 2019 if my memory serves me well, but it doesn’t LoL. Keeping a sense of humor helps too. I’ve had Parkinson’s mask quite awhile so need to stop joking, due to my facial expressions not changing. Combined with my dry humor I’m finding myself by myself. I sincerely forget I keep a poker face. I.E. Picking my meds Tuesday, a couple had to be refilled on Wednesday, by law, although my doc called them in trying to help me get everything done in one day bc I have the flu & wanted to come home & rest. Have used same pharmacy 20 years, so when he said I’m sorry, but these two I can’t fill until tomorrow, I said I’ve got the flu & didn’t want to come back out. Now, do you want me to get out of this car & kiss you on the mouth so you will understand in a few days? He said NO Ma’am! Of course I was joking, but forgot my face doesn’t change. But I think I’ve told those guys about the mask. Hopefully. I would NEVER deliberately hurt anyone, and they know this of me. I do forget that I always look serious now, so if your friends or loved ones have Parkinson’s, PLEASE be aware of this symptom. I’m not always serious and usually am not, especially if I say anything threatening! I love everyone. I simply need to adjust my personality to match my serious face perhaps. Be better if I get a mask? Idk. Thank you for your time.

I encourage you to look into the new research into preserving neuronal functioning and reversing vascular inflammation. Daniel Amen and Dale Bredesen( his claims maybe too sensational) re: what encourages NGF Neuronal Growth Factor. mushroom extracts may sound woo-woo but the compounds in them are biologically active. nourishing mitochondria with 8 carbon MCT oils like EVO and refined coconut oils to provide more energy to the neurons slowing down. work with yr doctor on treating vascular inflammation which is at the root of atherosclerosis. stations are a double edge sword. Daniel Amen's BRIGHT MIND lifestyle changes, backed up by SPECT scans for other neurodegenerative disorders. dancing or walking to classical music activates alternate sides of the brain. PBS not long ago had a show on neurologic disease breakthroughs, and Parkinson's was one of the illnesses discussed. work on "leaky gut" and vitamin D to safest max, decrease toxic foods and maximize antioxidants within reason. I am looking into photobiomodulation and transcranial ultrasound for my patients instead of neurosurgery/DBS. all being said, Levo/carbidopa, bromocriptine, and others my neurologist colleagues use are still the gold standard. but using movement through thinking and planning out movements uses a different brain paths than those awry in PD.

aim for the non-invasive ways to improve blood flow and get "good oscillations" going before using brain electronic devices to create the same.

praying for him.

Hello Ella .My dad has the same, He was diagnosed with vascular dementia and parkinsonism 1 and half years ago. He is 55 years old now. They say it progresses slowly But for my dad it is progressing rapidly,He is becoming worse over months. Is it the same with your husband? How is he doing now? Can you share your experience how you and your husband dealt with the disease so I can take care of my dad better. Thank you.

absolutely. both Covid and the vaccine can cause neuronal and vascular inflammation. suppress it ASAP and research all you can about what boosts Neuronal Growth Factor. be sensible but look at those who think rationally but " outside the box" like Dale Bredesen and Daniel Amen's work on brain healing, because the brain is made of living cells which are capable of improvement in many cases. but don't break your bank account-do what makes sense. and counseling for the emotional roller-coaster of your emotions, and prayer and laying on hands cannot hurt.

I have heard in some cases ivermectin can also help to annul the harmful side-effects effects of the vaccine.

Same happened to me

Only Spiritual knowledge helps for mind and for body eat fruits and vegetables helps

Try giving him Ashwaghanda. Its an excellent brain herb that works wonders for all brain related issues.

Agree no one listens not even your family! That hurts.

The kit itself is only shipped within the United States by the Parkinson Foundation. But all the documents that go into the kit are printable for free on their website: www.parkinson.org/Living-with-Parkinsons/Resources-and-Support/Hospital-Kit

We would need to see your husband to provide specific advice. We do have a clinic dedicated to atypical parkinsonisms like PSP. Our clinic phone number is 352-294-5400. Also you can get more information about PSP from the CurePSP foundation: www.psp.org/

Back in 2014. Still educational but we recommend you check out our other newer videos also for more recent PD information!

I agree with what you shared as what is hopeful about knowing there is no cure and being told that each time we see our neurologist - every 6 months! And yes it is true we do not die of PD -- as most PD sufferers die of pneumonia -- the old person's disease. PD slowly robs you of dignity and quality of like. 25 years of living with it and you can only fight it for so long before it tires you out. It is not a marathon but a mega-marathon. Positive attitude is needed but how many meds can a person take before the meds affect you too in a negative way.

No

There is alot of treatments for Parkinsons, medication, brain surgery, ultrasound he is a very well known Nurologist, he's just saying that a positive mindset helps you cope better with the symptoms.
