Barry Block replied to the topic Have you taken virtual exercise classes? in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 3 days, 23 hours ago
I am 72 have had PD for 2.5 years. I exercise 6 days a week virtually in a combination of Silver sneakers and Zumba classes. These have helped me enormously and my PD doctor confirms that my disease has not progressed since I started this pandemic routine.

While I use a low dose Sinemet CR to control my PD, I also eat small bags of fava beans (The Good Bean on Amazon 50 cents per bag) between doses. I have done this for two years and it has helped keep me from increasing my dose. They taste good to, so they make a good snack while providing me a natural dose of dopamine.

I just had an telemedicine appointment today. While it’s not as good as a physical appointment, it worked out fine. I was able to update my history and get my prescription refilled. I recommend that you use a camera, as the doctor can have you go some of the tests usually done in-person.

I’ve found a simple treatment for off periods. I eat a bag of fava beans. They are made by the good bean and cost about fifty cents per bag on Amazon. They also make tasty snacks and people have no idea why I am eating them.
