Oddly enough after many attempts to deal with my constipation I found that Curcumin supplements have worked for me. Go figure. But after taking them daily and continuing to eat plenty of cooked vegetables I have found that constipation is no longer an issue.

C Morts replied to the topic What do you think is at the root of your Parkinson's diagnosis? in the forum Diagnosis Information and General Questions 3 months, 1 week ago
In 2014 I was hit by a large truck while in a crosswalk. Sustained a severe concussion. Over the next 4 years my PD symptoms emerged but it was only diagnosed three years ago. My neurologist believe that it is possible that the accident triggered my PD. But we will never know for sure. I have no family history of PD.

Perspiration body odor
Okay. I know this is an odd question but here goes. Has the odor of your body/ perspiration changed since you developed Parkinson’s? I seem to have a problem with that now, especially when I am nervous. Never a problem before.

I appreciate Mary Beth’s question. Since my diagnosis almost 2 years ago I have become very discouraged about life. I have become withdrawn socially and am quite depressed. I used to be very social, accomplished and generally loving with family and friends. At first I thought it was due to my sensitivity to medications for PD.But as my dr ta…[Read more]

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021 although my symptoms had been progressing for at least 4 years. Originally I was put on Carbadopa Levadopa. Low dose 25/100. Side effects were primarily those of depression and extreme constipation. So my doctor prescribed Rytary. Long story short, I am now irritable beyond belief and anxious too. I feel a…[Read more]
