As you may have heard I am conducting my own research using Human Growth=
Hormone for treatment of Parkinson=92s Disease. It seems to me that a con=
dition
due to the degeneration of cells would benefit from an agent that promote=
s
the growth of cells. Currently I am going on my 3rd month with some
encouraging changes.
I started noticing a few weeks ago that I was smiling and laughing more.=
These facial expressions reminded me of what I was like several years ago=
before I had Parkinson=92s. Then I noticed that typing was less strenuous=
and
my handwriting didn=92t have that small, cramped look (however, it's alwa=
ys
been hard to read). Much to my surprise I have found that when I wake in =
the
morning I feel normal for about 15 to 20 minutes. What an unusual feeling=
!
This normal feeling replaces the stiff muscles I have gotten used to when=
waking up over the last few years. Muscle tone has increased and I find
exercise to be much easier.
Also my suppressed voice has become more vibrant and my words more clear=
ly
pronounced. More recently dyskinesia from Sinemet has shown a reduction i=
n
its effects. Tremors, ever though they are less pronounced, still persist=
during the off periods of medication, while under stress. On the other ha=
nd
there actually have been times that I forgot to take Sinemet and didn=92t=
miss
it!
All of this has encouraged me to want to continue with this treatment. T=
here
is a negative side to this however. Growth Hormone is expensive and I don=
=92t
have the money myself to continue with this investigation. Currently I am=
looking for sources to help fund this research. The costs for this treatm=
ent
are small in comparison to some of the other more know procedures. If you=
have any suggestions on funding or how to help support this effort please=
contact me.
Thank you,
