    Beata replied to the topic Were you exposed to toxins during your life? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    I was exposed to DDT several summers as a child. My parents and our neighbors in Michigan would contract with a spray plane to spray DDT to control the mosquitos. We thought it was great fun to run behind the spray plane and play around in the DDT mist.

    Beata replied to the topic CBD, have you tried it? in the forum Parkinson's Disease alternative treatments 9 months, 1 week ago

    Hi All! I started taking CBD about a year ago.  I went to a dispensary in my area (San Diego) on the urging of a family member and asked what they recommended for sleep disturbance, because that was what was bothering me the most. They suggested a combo of CBD and CBN, 5 mg. I tried a number of different brands until I found one that worked. I am…[Read more]

    Beata replied to the topic Mannitol, a sugar, has given me back my life! in the forum Parkinson's Disease Medications 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hello All, you are so inspiring and brave.
    I was diagnosed five years ago and feel good. I take Sinemet and Azilect and my symptoms seem to be currently controlled. I exercise daily, am learning Spanish, try to do new things to keep my brain off balance, have begun painting, and take handfuls of supplements. I have two questions. Firstly, I do…[Read more]

    Beata replied to the topic What's your most bizarre symptom? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    In the scheme of things this counts for, well, nothing, but it makes other people giggle. Myoddest symptom? When I get a pedicure, the pedicurist scrubs the bottoms of my feet with a lava stone. And it KILLS me. My feet are so sensitive that I cannot tolerate it any more. The ladies working in the salon all get a great giggle out of it when I moan…[Read more]

    Beata replied to the topic Would you liked to be featured for Parkinson's Awareness Month? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 2 months ago

    Sure! I’ve been diagnosed for five years and am doing well. I exercise, eat well, keep my mind active, and try to do all the things that are recommended for Parkinson’s. So far so good.

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

    Hi There.  I have a very delicate stomach and was therefore amazed to find that Sinemet, a combo of Carbidopa and Levodopa,  not only addressed my Parkinson’s symptoms but also did not upset my stomach. I believe that Levodopa is the component that buffers the formula and prevents nausea.
    As for sleep, I have found that I do well with 15mg tim…[Read more]

    Beata replied to the topic Parkinon's impact on sleep and dreaming in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 1 year, 6 months ago

    Hi All.

     

    It is so good to hear from all of you. I get strength and encouragement from reading your thoughts.
    I have had crazy dreams since young adulthood, didn’t know about a link to PD until I developed more symptoms and was diagnosed 3 years ago. (I am 67). For me exercise is crucial, affecting sleep and elimination and mood. If I don’t get…[Read more]

    Beata replied to the topic Did you use Round Up Weed Killer? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 8 months ago

    I remember when I was 12 or so, my parents and neighbors hired a light plane to spray the neighborhood with DDT to kill the mosquitos. The plane flew low and we chased the plume of white mist, playing and laughing. I remember my skin was moist from the mist.

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

    I try to exercise daily, 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes. Usually more. I go to boxing classes, go to the gym, walk, etc. I find I go through periods of quite a lot of joint and muscle pain, and exercise seems to help as long as I don’t push too hard. If I over exert I feel horrible, flu-ish. COQ10 has made a major difference as have p…[Read more]

    Beata replied to the topic Parkinon's impact on sleep and dreaming in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 2 months ago

    I have had. nightmares about being chased for decades, even though I e only been diagnosed about four years. I have unfortunately slugged my husband and have thrown myself out of bed. Thank goodness my neurologist recommended melatonin. It seems to take care of the problem. And additionally helps with sleep.

    Beata replied to the topic Boxing and Parkinsons in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 2 years, 4 months ago

    I have been attending a Rock Steady Boxing class since shortly after my diagnosis 3 years ago. It is very enjoyable and is one heck of a great workout. I always feel much better afterwards. It is inspiring to see how others handle their challlenges. I learn so much.

    Beata replied to the topic How do you deal with constipation? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 6 months ago

    Hi All! I find that, at least so far, constipation is only a problem when my diet slips. I eat primarily greens and protein, in the form of fish or nuts or beans, and fruit etc, and rarely pastas or bread or other carbs. No dairy, as it really affects my digestion and thought processes. I find it gums me up, physically and mentally.
    Also, lots of…[Read more]
