I have Alexa. She reminds me to turn the sound back on in my iPhone every morning. She also reminds me to take my pills. She reminds me of appointments.
Love her.

This past week has been interesting.  I continue to have high blood pressure even with a BP patch.  Then I see my Parkinson doctor and she explained I was having high anxiety.  My breathing was not normal, and I was a mess.

I am going in to my heart doctor’s tomorrow to see what is going on.  I had to start the anxiety medicine with tiny piece…[Read more]

I conquered constipation when my daughter got me on Juice Plus. It is veggies and fruit,which I needed anyway,as I don’t eat well due to Los of taste.

She went to a training class with Dr. Sears, a retired, well known doctor who invented Juice Plus a while back. They work well and keep me daily.

If you want more info, let me know and I will s…[Read more]

Is Rytary high in cost where you are or what insurance you have?  Even with one of the discount cards it is still in the $300’s.  It is the only thing that doesn’t cause nausea.  I lost 5 pounds and I only weighted 98.  Now 93 and can’t gain.  So I have not been taking anything, and my doctor said if I feel better without meds, she is fine w/that.

I had constipation problems,but do not now. I am on Juice Plus gummies (but they have pills). I take 2 of the fruit and 2 of the vegetables daily. They were initially made by a doctor and are not sold in stores. I have been on them for three yrs and I am so grateful they have helped.

Anita, does it just help tremors? Do you have any other PD symptoms like sleep, balance? Thanks. Beth

Hi. I had a mild heart attack end of July. Was only in the hospital 2 days. My heart doctor said my leaky heart valve was not the cause, but my primary, who was a heart doctor in Germany at one time, thought it was. I under went a procedure with the heart doctor so he could check some thing. Then a short time later, I was accepted at Cedar…[Read more]

I wish my son and daughter understand. They are both very good to me in many way. My son lives in WA and my daughter about 20 minutes away.

This year, I have seen my son once when he was here to attend a special show in La Jolla. He did spend time with me most of the time and we even went to the show with him.

What I am experiencing from…[Read more]

Me again. Still struggling with sleep. I have seen three Movement doctors and none have helped with sleep. They don’t want to give you anything.

For me, with bad allergies and lung issues, I desperately need sleep. So frustrating.

I have tried so many things I see on Facebook to no avail. Money wasted.

Are there movement doctors also? With Parkinson, you should be seeing a movement doctor but he can be a neurologist also.

Sleep and the tremors in my arthritic hands that are bent out of shape making cooking and other things very difficult. Also, sometimes, fatigue.

Hi Daniel. Your wife is lucky to have you. I have been alone a very long time, so I am pretty good at managing, even with Parkinson, so far.

I have an Apple Watch which I got about 2 yrs ago. It does detect falls, and is much better for me then those things around you neck you pay for forever. It also tells me when my pulse is over 100, as I…[Read more]

I go a lot in the morning, but it is a little better in the afternoon.  I attribute it to the fact I have Stage 3 kidney disease and must drink at least 3 bottles of water a day, plus coffee, tea, ginger ale.  I got Stage 3 kidney disease because I was not drinking enough water.  I am petite and weigh 93 lbs.  Never liked water, so did not dri…[Read more]
