Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement, and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement.

Has anyone tried this? I began treatment on Monday and am going back today for another one. Supposedly one has to have many treatments (20 plus) before it is effective. Don't know if I can afford that many but thought I would give a few a try.
My back pain is becoming unbearable. The Gabapentin wears off too quickly and I am on the highest dose and using Lyrica as well for break through pain. I am now getting cramps in my legs and arms with shooting pains and pins and needles too.
See the neurologist again in July and another neurologist at the UBC Movement Disorder Clinic in November.
I have found that when I am in Barbados, I do not have much pain, take a third less medication, and do not have inner tremors or balance problems. The cramps etc. have just started since returning back to Canada. Does anyone else find that heat makes a difference? My heating pad and the hot shower are my best friends here!
Thanks,
Deanna

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
As regards to cramps I believe if you take quinine, found in your every day tonic drink ( i.e. as in the tonic one might have with a gin and tonic) helps prevent cramps.
As for the heat I agree with you one feels a lot better in sunshine and warmth.
Hope this helps, slan scuba.
As a fellow diver, I can relate to Scuba's experience with an overall well feeling during and after diving. Its unfortunate it does not last else what better excuse do you need to go diving.
