    John William replied to the topic What's your weirdest symptom? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 4 months ago

    Just before I was diagnosed with PD over two years ago, I had regular GERD which was a result of a hiatal hernia.  They repaired the hernia, then it reoccurred again 18 months later, so they did another hiatal hernia repair (both surgeries were done orthoscopically, thank goodness),   It got rid of the GERD, but immediately after the 2nd repair I…[Read more]

    Shortly after being diagnosed two years ago, I developed Gastroparesis (GP), or paralyzed stomach that does digest and move food into the small intestines. 40% of all PD patients have some form of GP. Daily nausea, and the only approved medicine increases tremors so the doctor won’t prescribe it.
