I sometimes get my right leg gets swollen. But as soon as I raise it on my reclining sofa and keep a pillow under my leg to raise it little more get back to normal very soon. I tend to get this when I donor walk a lot during the day

Everyday is a guessing game for me. I am never sure that what I want to do will be accomplished. You learn to live with what PD will offer you at a given time. Sometimes it just takes more time. Other times I have lost the skill to perform.  Simple things like taking a walk, attaching a lure to my fishing pole. One day I will have no problem with…[Read more]

It’s a good idea to get tested for blood clots in the legs first then go from there.  Don’t use items that put pressure on the legs or feet without first checking with the Dr. and getting this test.  Also, keep feet up when sitting and move them periodically.  Check with Dr. before making any changes to diet, etc.

In my case (eopd), the non-motor symptoms (rigidity, nerve pain, fatigue, etc.) are more challenging than the motor symptoms (tremor, balance). It takes so much effort to conjure up energy to tackle any task, laborious or social. When my tremor is noticeable, it doesn’t bother me- I don’t feel embarrassed or awkward. But when my brain wants to get…[Read more]

Now, this is an interesting study on Zeolite. As far as heavy metal detox, powdered Zeolite Clinoptilolite seems to be the best. Zeolite: Investigation of the Effectiveness and Safety as an Oral Chelating for Heavy Metals. A comparison between different commercially available…[Read more]

Hi Louis,

Unfortunately, there is no way to directly post a PDF file. However, you could take the content of the PDF, put it in a Good Drive document, and link it here (via the paper clip icon). I think that may be your best bet.

Mary Beth, I made and for a time used a “red light” helmet, I found the detail of research on it from an Australian web site, I belie it helped my speech ..for a while and up to a point. I stopped using it about 2 years ago but still have it and might start using it again, as my speech has got far worse now. I’m sure I could rediscover the web…[Read more]

Yes I have the same problem, suffered for over 12 mths, always when in bed, it stopped me from sleeping.My family Dr put me on diuretics and a 1.5 litre fluid restriction and it has gone away. Very tough sticking to only 1.5 litres though and mostly I don’t, but after a while it catches up and they start swelling and the pain comes back.
PS the…[Read more]

Here is a farnesol story everybody can read: https://neurosciencenews.com/farnesol-parkinsons-19007/

Hi – my husband has had good improvements in balance (although he still falls occasionally from freezing of his feet) and masking from Mannitol. He takes 2 tablespoons daily (we started with 2 tsp and slowly worked up). We purchase the mannitol from Amazon – it is the brand that says Kitchen Alchemy. Some brands do not work and his balance got…[Read more]

I have been a swimmer all my life, and even competed in the swimming portion of triathlons. Therefore, it was very disturbing to enter the pool three summers ago and discover I could no longer make it from the middle of the pool to the sides. My experiences were similar to those you describe: My legs just wouldn’t move. I also tried a kick board a…[Read more]

Thank you , Paul

Skip, Just post it via a link to web site or any way you can, a moderator will soon tell you if it;s allowed.

Hey Tom, How long have you been using mannitol and how much per day, and also how long did it take to be effective.
I’ve started taking it about two weeks ago and use about 4 -5 tea spoons a day with no side effects. So I’m now ready to ramp up my dosage if required. I just checked I have used about 100 g (3.5 ozs) so far .
Regards, Paul

Try going to a water physical training, or Re-hab.  That’s just what they are there for.  I myself have gone to CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital for mine.  Good luck to you.

I, myself had that problem in December last year.  My left foot had swollen then began filling with liquid.  It then ran up my leg to my knee, that’s when my right foot began to do the same.  Dr. Give me injection then put a needle injection time suppressed patch on my left foot.  It sat there for about 40 minutes then was removed and the swe…[Read more]
