Close Parkinson's Disease
I have had PD for 11 years or I should say dxd 11 years ago. I believe I had it for a couple of years before. Did real good keeping it under control the first five years or so, but since then it has been kind of a down hill slide.
Treatments
- Comtan Working / Worked
- It worked with no side effects.
- Mirapex Working / Worked
- Works for me and no problems with it.
- Requip Working / Worked
- I didn't notice any real difference nor did I have any side effects
- Sinemet Working / Worked
- Worked fine with no problems or side effects.
- Stalevo Working / Worked
- Didn't notice any real difference and had no side effects.
- Symmetrel Working / Worked
- Helped a lot. Dr. just took me off of it because of side effects. have been on it for years.
Close Sciatica
I have had sciatica on and off for the last three,three and a half years. One time the pain down my legs was so bad I could hardly walk. In fact one time it was so bad, I rolled off the couch and had to crawl to the bathroom. I finally had to get a series of steroid injections,{ that was real fun}no pain after for i year.
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Not Working
- I don't see any difference when taking Ibuprofen, so just don't use it anymore.
- Stretching Working / Worked
- I also have had PD for over 11 years and with that you also need to stretch and exercise, so it is a real part of my routine and my life. If I don't do this I simply can't move and the ache and the pain is more than I can take, so I just do them.
- Walking Not Working
- Right now not much is helping. I sit on ice a lot & that helps a little for awhile. I sure wish it would clear up! It is really starting to get to me.
Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I have been suffering with IBS for about 2 years now and it has really gotten bad. Very hard to deal with. I have to go in for more back surgery in a few weeks and would like to get some help with this problem before I do that.. I feel like the people here can probably be more help now than my doctor. I have followed all of her instructions and it has not helped. Just hoping I can get some help here.
Treatments
- Colace Working / Worked
- Used the plain colace not the one with the laxative. Helped some but again not much.
- High Fiber Diet Working / Worked
- Helped some for awhile then it seemed to make things worse
- Psyllium Working / Worked
- I have been taking 2 Tbs. of mineral oil twice a day, drinking citrucel twice a day and one cup of magnesium citrate. Have had a little relief but need a lot more.
