My mom (80/6) for the last few years has been on Permax and
Eldepryl. Everytime she tried Sinimet she experienced nausea and
vomiting. Finally we were referred to a PD specialist in New York, Dr.
Enrico Fazzini who told us about Motilium to relieve the nausea.
At first we were skeptical about Motilium, especiallly since it is
not approved by the FDA, and we would have to order it from Montreal.
But after posting to this group and hearing from a number of other
PD'ers who use Motilium (thank you Sonia from Denmark!), my mom gave
it a try.
And the results have been great! She no longer has any nausea and
the Sinimet has been of great help. Her balance is much better and her
stamina has been greatly enhanced. She has mentioned a small problem
that she recently has noticed - the excess amount of Saliva/Phlegm
that she finds in her mouth. She thinks that this has only started
being a problem since the use of Sinimet. Anybody have any ideas?
She has an appointment this Thursday with Dr. Fazzini to review her
progress. She is looking forward to changing from Permax to Mirapex to
even further her comeback. She hopes to one day be able to return to
bicycle riding (which she did until age 73), but realistically will
settle for being able to get on and off buses by herself to be more
self sufficient.
I want to thank everyone for all the great help you have been and
hopefully will continue to be - both in informative news on medicines,
and in daily inspiration of combatting PD. Thanks to Don, the Kens,
the Barbs, Sonia once again, and all the rest of you. Keep up the
fight.
