    Claudio replied to the topic How do you store your medication? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 11 months, 3 weeks ago

    I take 8 different meds daily (most of them PD related). This means that for me, managing all the meds is a critical task. I have always kept apart L/C meds from the others, because I take L/C several times during the day and I need to have it with me wherever I go. So every day I fill a small plastic cylinder container with 6 pills of L/C. Apart…[Read more]

    Claudio replied to the topic Is Dyskinesia one of your symptoms? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 3 years, 2 months ago

    If your dyskenisia (I assume you are sure that is dyskenisia and not tremor… because obviously the latter is a symptom!) is due to generic drug, you can’t test your theory, you say, but if it’s due to overdosage (in some way related to the generic drug bioavailability, not to a real change of doses) with a bit of luck, and a selective strategy,…[Read more]

    Claudio replied to the topic Is Dyskinesia one of your symptoms? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 3 years, 4 months ago

    As far as I know, dyskinesia is a side effect of over dosage of levodopa, not a symptom of PD, but I would welcome a more competent answer!

    Claudio replied to the topic Swimming + Parkinson's disease in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 3 years, 6 months ago

    I enjoy swimming. Unfortunately since I got the PD, I can’t swim as I did before (until my age of 59 I used to swim 40 50 mts laps, no stop, mostly crawl). Now, almost 65, diagn. 4 1/2 yrs ago, even when covered from L/C, I can’t swim more than 10 15 mts laps no stop.
    What is your swimming routine? Do you know of anyone with PD that can  swim…[Read more]

    Claudio replied to the topic Why did you join this forum? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 3 years, 8 months ago

    I joined this forum, because I think that sharing experiences about PD may be helpful in coping with the disease. PD, the poor release of dopamine, is a matter of brain. I wouldn’t be surprised if, sharing experiences, habits, info, tricks, one day someone finds out a way – an exercise, a trick, a behaviour – to make brain release dopamine apart…[Read more]

    Claudio replied to the topic Is your PD progressing quickly or slowly? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 3 years, 10 months ago

    May be I’m wrong, but I think it’s not so difficult to assess the progression of Parkinson. If you really want to know it, there is the UPDRS scale (Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale), that you can do at intervals of time and you can almost complete on your own. Apart from that, you can invent some “proxies” to have some answers . I…[Read more]

    Claudio replied to the topic How do you feel today? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 3 years, 10 months ago

    Symptoms fluctuation is an “intriguing” issue for me. Because, I think, the more I understand how symptoms fluctuation works, the better can be my quality of life.
    I see 2 different types of fluctuations: the “unexpected ” and the predictable. Than I split the former in
    >Negative fluctuations, possibly due to some delays (food conflicts? emotional…[Read more]

    Claudio replied to the topic How to Improve Your Walking Speed in the forum Parkinson’s Research News 3 years, 11 months ago

    I hope so, though treadmill (an aerobic exercise surely good for maintaining good gait amplitude and balance) is something I use more in winter and is one of several items I have in my “portfolio of physical activities exercises” that I use, in order to remain motivated.

    Claudio replied to the topic How to Improve Your Walking Speed in the forum Parkinson’s Research News 3 years, 11 months ago

    I enjoy treadmill in the gym. I usually set 5%, 5 km/h, 30 minutes, once a week. The big advantege for me is also that you can put a tablet or a smartphone in front of you, so you don’t get bored. I enjoyed so much that I am planning to buy a treadmill to use at home.

    Claudio replied to the topic Managing symptoms in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 3 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Jean,
    I come to your points:
    Exercise: I think that we all agree there is no ground for a debate. All studies and clinical tests confirm benefit of phisical exercise (possibly vigorous and intense) as far as “no drugs” treatments are concerned. I too spend 10-15 minutes every morning for some stretching and muscles workoutl. In addition to…[Read more]

    Claudio started the topic Managing symptoms in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 3 years, 11 months ago

    I wonder if someone experience some no-drugs, effective proven ways/behaviors/”tricks” (dancing? Listening to music? Brain fitness? not routinary activities? specific brain commitments? restful sleep? Some emotional condition?Else?) to keep down symptoms (apart from exercise), by natural releasing of dopamine within the body.
    For example, I found…[Read more]
