• Stridor – Respiratory

    Posted by Brad Fewson on February 13, 2019 at 6:40 am

    Hi

    Doe anyone experience similar. In my off period, I have extreme akinesia and rigidity and dystonia. I have no ability to move (complete locked in)…In off, respiratory is rough and I have stridor day and night. Messages for my lungs to breathe don’t happen. In your head you wish it but nothing, i frequently have O2 sats drop in 70s and blackout.

    I have Stalevo and eledprly 4 x a day and dexamfetamine x 4 or cannabis to fire the CNS . Clozeapam 4 x day to prevent rigidity. Agnoist (sifrol and apo morphone pump worked well by extreme side affects) so not using them

    I have to up my meds every 3-4 months

    ANyone

    Brad, I am so sorry to hear of your struggles.  Have you looked in to a second opinion?  Are you able to do exercise; even slow walking?  Is it possible for you to get a massage?  That does help my stiffness and rigidity.

    It is unfortunate we have to frequently change our meds. I am happy my symptoms are not too bad, but I detect subtle changes in my balance, fine motor skills and bradykinesia and currently adjusting my meds.
