    Denise replied to the topic Temporary Weakness After Exercise in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 3 months ago

    When my husband first started to exercise, after diagnosis, he would tremor excessively for the first three months. It appeared that once he got fit, the tremors subsided. Now, recently he had a brain bleed post-op to Part A of DBS Surgery (the unfortunate 1%), and so his exercise program was greatly interrupted. (Its taken him several months to…[Read more]

    My husband always feels as though he’s burned through his medicine much faster when he does the stair master. He believes the lack of dopamine is what makes him feel tired or weaker. He always views it as a wearing off each morning, expedited by exercise.

    Thomas R- Can you please tell us where you purchased your mannitol? Can you send a link and also tell us your dose? This would be much appreciated. My husband is currently entertaining thoughts on DBS surgery, so if we could hedge that; it would be great! Thanks.

    Denise replied to the topic Have you experienced odd side effects from medication? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Medications 10 months, 4 weeks ago

    Dyskinesia is the unwanted side effect from synthetic dopamine. The involuntary

    What dose are you taking and how often? How does this equate to synthetic dompanine, such as sinemet? I ordered some off the internet for my husband,
    but was concerned when it arrived as a powder in a lab-like container, with
    no instruction. Your insights?

    My father’s maternal grandmother had PD. My husband’s maternal grandmother also had PD.

    I have three children, and neither they nor do I exhibit any PD symptoms. (Well, I get restless leg,

    I assumed that was a menopause gift.)
