To stay loose I practice yoga. I also use stretching exercises that were recommended by several physical therapists I’ve seen over the years. I use my YMCA treadmill twice per day for a total of 3.2 miles. Since I retired in 2019, I love to hunt and fish as often as weather permits. I am going to get a dog in a month and I’m looking forward to […] View

    Gary replied to the topic Do you have low back pain not responding to PD medications? in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 1 month ago

    Kim, I would say low back pain is my most consistent discomfort caused by PD. Besides my yoga and stretching which I do every morning, I get on the treadmill for a mile. I bought  a recliner that gets my feet up to chest level. I’ve read somewhere that your back should get lower than 45 degrees. I bought a memory foam mattress. Pricy  but I mov…[Read more]

    Ally, My exercise consists of treadmill for two half hour periods per day. I try to stretch my movement over all my waking hours. I don’t want to compact them. If my hunting or fishing is strenuous I’ll take those as a substitute. One of my earliest symptoms was a feeling of lactic acid in my muscles.  But in my mind it went against all the advi…[Read more]

    DHVY is c/l in an oblong shape scored into quarters to facilitate more exact dosage. Drs. in the US are just now getting free samples.

    Richard, if you don’t mind me asking, how are you measuring .75? Have you found a source for DHVY?

    The parallel bars that are “L” shaped. The long legs go between your mattresses and the short legs joined together are the handle that not only help a person get in, stay in, or get out of bed, I’ll lean against mine to add stability when dressing, and they can also prevent falls if you are near by when unsteadiness occurs. Happy Holidays!

    Hello everyone, my first symptom was tremor in my right hand. It started at least 10 years before I was diagnosed and it would start for no reason. My first PD symptom was my right foot sticking to the floor. I suspected PD right away. This was November 1, 2019. Another symptom I look back and see, is my voice being hoarse for the first few days…[Read more]
