Mary Beth, I have been treated with acupuncture for back problems for over 20 years. When I have pain it is the only thing that works. It takes a few days or a few treatments to really notice the change but one day you wake up and know that it is better. With the recurring pain from PD it is much the same and if I don’t over do it and keep […] View

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Diagnosed July 2020 in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 6 months ago

    Hi Beth,

    I also tried Levodopa and had to stop. I have had Arthritis for over 20 years and taken Glucosamine, MSM and Chondroitin during that time which has helped and whenever I stop which I do every so often to see if I can do without it, the pain returns. When I started Levodopa a similar thing happened and the Arthritis supplements didn’t…[Read more]

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Do you have theories about why you have Parkinsons? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 8 months ago

    I have been treated with Chinese medicine for years and with amazing results. However my symptoms progress because there is no known cure just a delay of symptoms. TCM looks at the body in a completely different way and because we all have different Chi  deficiencies or excesses, in some cases they are pathological. Looking back on my life and…[Read more]

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic No pharmaceutical drugs? in the forum Parkinson's Disease alternative treatments 1 year, 10 months ago

    Hi,  I have recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons/MSA and have been treated with acupuncture, preferring not to take the prescribed levadopa. When symptoms are worse I go every week but usually I can keep it stable with a visit every two weeks. I have tried levadopa but found the acupuncture worked better. Obviously it depends on the…[Read more]

      Carolyn, in what ways has acupuncture helped with your symptoms? I’ve always wondered what it feels like after a session. Does it relieve tension?

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Fatigue after exercise in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi,

    I experience leg pains and fatigue after exercise but the pain and stiffness builds up after no exercise so I try to work out as much as I can and manage the pain with Qigong and Tai Chi, which I teach and do every day, and Do Terra Deep Blue to rub on my legs at night if they really ache and stop me from sleeping.

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Young Onset Parkinson's Disease in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 2 years, 3 months ago

    Hi Argya,

    Twenty one is too young for onset of Parkinson’s but the good thing may be your age will work for you in keeping at bay the worsening of symptoms. I agree with Lou that a good diet of fruit, nuts, veggies and small amounts of meat and fish and organic grains and cereals is the best thing. Some people like to continue meat and I find it…[Read more]

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Fatigue after exercise in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 2 years, 3 months ago

    I have the same problem and tried Magnesium but it causes me very bad diarrhea. I use DoTerra Deep  cream on my legs when they are very bad but basically they hurt 24/7 unless I am working out and then they feel tingly!!! I am very tired after exercise but I try and exercise in the evening so that I sleep better. Otherwise Advil before bedtime…[Read more]

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Keto diet – have you tried it? in the forum Parkinson's Disease alternative treatments 2 years, 3 months ago

    When I fast for 12 or more hours (preferably 18-24) I usually feel much better. I have a very strict diet of non GMO grains and organic meat in small quantities and organic vegetables and fruit. I start off feeling OK in the morning but as the day goes on with more and more meals (especially if we go out for dinner or have a larger than normal…[Read more]

    Carolyn Huggett replied to the topic Were you an athlete before diagnosis? in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 2 years, 4 months ago

    I have recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and have been an athlete all my life. With my husband I have competed around the world in Ballroom Dancing and we have won many trophies. That has stopped now due to PD but we are continuing to dance and have taken up Argentine Tango. Dancing 3 or 4 nights a week, teaching Tai Chi and Qigong 5 days a…[Read more]
