I like the idea of a PDF publication based on the input from the
People Witrh Parkinson's (PWP's) as stated by Lucy Sargent July
21,2003.
Here is my feeble contribution to the effort. The four subjects
follow with a few personal remarks thrown in for good measure.
#1 What specific topic do I consider to be most imporrtant.
Nutrition and nutritional counseling is most important. Yet,
not one of the four neurologists I have seen has discussed this
subject with me.
#2 What areas of day to day living does Parkinson's most interfere
with?
a) Gertting out of bed
b) Getting up from a chair c) Writing
d)Speaking e) Walking
(bent at the waist with shoulder and neck tight.
#3 What practical advice can I pass along to help others?
See #2. As you can see I haven't exactly beaten this
affliction . I haven' mentioned Constipation which was the first
symptom noted many months prior to being diagnosed .
#4 What sort of resources would be useful?
Case histories would be very helpful.The more details the
better.....
Incidentally, I am 78 years old. I was diagnosed in October,
2000 . I:'ve been on Selegeline, Mirapex, and presently take Sinemet
50/200 three times a day.Do I think it is helping? NO.
