No big changes. I was put on an anxiety med about 4 months ago. Was not sure it was doing any thing, and called in for a renewal. Did not get it for three days due to doctor’s office people screwing it up. Right about the time I got it, I started crying easily and didn’t know what that was for and then told because I was off the anxiety med […] View

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic Botox injections for overactive bladder in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 month ago

    I am presently dealing with such issues.  The doctor did recommend Botox but I declined.  It doesn’t last a long time.  I wanted the new pill they now have for this problem that I tried that was great.  However, it costs 247.+ for 30 days.  I said I could not afford that.  She asked if I could afford $100 for 30 days, and I said no.  I am 86 with…[Read more]

    Hi Emma Newman.
    I was diagnosed 2020 when I thought my tremors in my right hand was my thyroid. However, my thyroid doctor said my thyroid is fine and I am taking the right amount of meds. She suggested I see a Movement Doctor. I never heard of one.

    An MRI said my dopamine level was almost nonexistent. So, Parkinson it is. I am in Stage 2.…[Read more]

    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.

    Beth T Browne posted an update 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    I was reading where someone had problems with eating.
    I lost my sense of taste the first year I was diagnosed. I stopped the Leva/Dopa they give everyone first. The nausea was unbearable. I felt better without it. Now,three years later, I still do not take it. I tried Rytary. It did not make me nausea but caused anxiety, which I already had…[Read more]

    I am on 2mg high blood pressure patch after wearing a 1mg 7 days, but didn’t do much. The 2mg is working. I am petite. Weigh 93 pounds. Lost 5 on LevaDopa so I still do not take any prescribed meds.

    Can anyone on here who has a lot of anxiety comment on medication they have taken, and what worked best for you? Also, did it help with sleep? Thanks.

    Beth T Browne posted an update 6 months ago

    Just saw the comments on Clonazepam. I just started taking it 11/14/22. I am 85, and having difficulties with high blood pressure that we can’t seem to control. I am now on a patch for it. I was also diagnosed with high anxiety. So my Parkinson doctor prescribed the Clonazepam as she said it helps to slow the anxiety faster than some o…[Read more]

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic Coping with anxiety, depression and stress in the forum Flash Briefings and Podcasts 6 months, 1 week ago

    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]

    Still have tremors. Also experiencing extreme anxiety and on medication. Also, problems getting blood pressure down so now on a patch. Shoulder needs replacing, but at 85, I am not doing that so getting cortisone shows every 3 months. Now can’t exercise upper back. Sleep a little better as I am taking meds for depression, even though I do n…[Read more]

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic How do you deal with constipation? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    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]

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic Neupro patch in the forum Parkinson's Disease Medications 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    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.

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic PD and cardiac symptoms in the forum Using our forums 6 months, 4 weeks ago

    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.

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic Do you struggle with sleep disturbances? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 8 months, 3 weeks ago

    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.

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic Which symptom is most challenging to navigate? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 9 months ago

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

    Beth T Browne replied to the topic Which symptom is most challenging to navigate? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 9 months ago

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