    Chris Manning replied to the topic Your Amantadine Experience? in the forum Parkinson's Disease alternative treatments 2 years, 3 months ago

    What all this says to me is exactly what everyone already knows – how different we all are. What works for me may not work for you; neurologists in Canada may not prescribe the same regime for me as they do for you in the US or England or anywhere else for that matter.

    Chris Manning replied to the topic Your Amantadine Experience? in the forum Parkinson's Disease alternative treatments 2 years, 3 months ago

    I started with levadopa but it didn’t seem to help me. When I switched neurologists, the new one put me onto amantadine 100 mg three times a day and it really helped. Last time, the neurologist suggested adding two levadopa/carbidopa 100/25 mg three times a day. Taking this many levadopa made me unbelievably nauseous so, after consulting my…[Read more]

    I agree – Sarah King is really great.

    Chris Manning replied to the topic How can we help with freezing episodes? in the forum A​ ​Forum​ ​for​ ​Parkinson's Disease ​Caregivers​ 2 years, 4 months ago

    Freezing is one of the most annoying symptoms of Parkinson’s. There are few things more frustrating than to be standing, unable to move as the elevator doors close or the phone in the other room is ringing and you can’t get to it. I have tried every way of getting over the problem suggested by various neurologists, physiotherapists and university…[Read more]

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

    I am a great believer in boxing for people with PD – it’s excellent for big movements, cardio, footwork and balance beside the need to concentrate on each of the drills. The YMCA in Oakville, ON, started a Rock Steady Boxing program in October but I found there was not enough time spent on the actual boxing so now I am working with an instructor…[Read more]

    Chris Manning replied to the topic Linda Ronstadt and PD affecting her voice in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 4 months ago

    My voice has definitely become much quieter and more indistinct, to the point where people are finding it difficult to hear what I am saying. A speech therapist has given me exercises that I am supposed to do twice a day (when I remember) and my wife is helping me to speak more loudly and more slowly. I would guess that about one-quarter to…[Read more]

    Chris Manning replied to the topic Doctor reference… in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 7 months ago

    Hi Geraldine: I live in the Toronto area. It took several months for me to see my first neurologist and she was exactly as you have described. After my second visit, I decided to try someone else. I was incredibly fortunate to have been able to get in to see a neurologist at the Movement Disorder Clinic, Toronto Western Hospital, quite quickly…[Read more]
