I suffered in my firat parkinson years often from cold hand and feet. I
used bromocriptine in this time and that caused a decrease in blood flow to
the extremities.
After I stoppes bromocriptine and started dopergin this problemm
disapeared. Before my pallidotomy I was always to warm, could not stand
woolen clothes, and lived in a house were other people stsrted to shiver if
I forget to offer them some woolen garnments. Heavy sweating however was a
typical "wearing-off sinemet" symptom.
The relation between schizofrenia and parkinson is mentioned before in that
their symptoms are in part opposites of each other and that scizofrenics.
have to much dopamine. I remember that the anti-schizofrenia med's, that
where used in the sixties and early seventies caused them to have some
parkinson symptoms and to be never cold. I clearly remember that the
schizofrenic pztients in the psychiatry ward walked in the garden always
wilhout coat even when the temperature was more than minus 10 celsius. But
this kind of knowledge has never , as far as I know, been helpfull in
finding, a solution. But it gives me, I don't understand why a kind of
"l'art pour l'art" (art for arts sake; is that right?) pleasure.
