Close Parkinson's Disease
About I diagnosed myself with Parkinson's. Being a nurse (retired) I was well aware of the symptoms of the disease. My voice was so weak now tha my son-in-law thought he was going deaf. handwriting (of which i'd always been proud.) was small and pinched looking . And besides that I kept falling backwards when I would stand up; Loss of balance. My GP asked me what was wrong an I told her Parkinsons, and she agreed with me and snt me to a neurologist who clinched the deal and gave me medication.
Treatments
- Mirapex Working / Worked
- The only thing I noticed was the nausea when I first started taking it.
- Sinemet Somewhat Helpful
- I took to much and then to little. It was to hard to calculate the correct dosage.
- Stalevo Working / Worked
- I am taking 1 1/2 tabs 4 x a day. And it seems to be working well for me.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I have used meditation in the past for stress relief and relaxation and it works well.
