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.
