Here's kind of a crazy question but it's something I'm really curious about. To anyone's knowledge out there, has there been any type of research regarding dehydration in Parkinson's patients (and I'm not even sure if this is the right question to ask)? Here's what baffles me - my husband was in a pretty bad state and was unable to move for two days this past January and passed out or had a seizure (it's never been really clarified what happened) and upon his arrival at the hospital, he was given an IV and within a half hour, he was in better shape than I had seen him in in years. This is without medication, which he had been due to take a hour or so before. He didn't even slightly resemble the person we had been seeing for years with Parkinson's. One would never have known he had it. He was moving freely, even his facial expression was more relaxed. I mentioned this later to his neurologist who really didn't give it much attention, but I still can't stop thinking about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
