    Chris replied to the topic Where in the world are you? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 7 months ago

    Hello everyone,

    I live in the small town of Clinton, Illinois in the center of the state surrounded by corn and soybean fields.

    Chris replied to the topic Do you have theories about why you have Parkinsons? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 8 months ago

    I was diagnosed a couple of years ago when I was 42 with YOPD.  I always tell everyone that I definitely inherited it from my father’s side.  That’s because I found out that my grandmother’s maiden name was Parkinson, for real.  A little humor about this disease does help at times.

    Chris replied to the topic Apathy in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 2 months ago

    This is a great topic.  I’m going on one year with my diagnosis.  I’m only 43 and for years I have been slowing down.  I’ve been on venlafaxine since 2013 but I’ve noticed my apathy and fatigue has really gotten worse over the past few years.  I used to follow most sports on a daily almost hourly basis.  Now I only follow a couple and that’s if I…[Read more]

    Chris replied to the topic Have you experienced "pins and needles" in your fingers? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 6 months ago

    Does anyone lose feeling in their toes?  Oftentimes one or two of my middle toes will be numb, like they are asleep and I can’t feel them or move them.  If I sit in a hard or rigid chair my toes usually go numb.  Just curious if anyone deals with this as well.  Thanks

    Mike,

    The shaking in my right hand began after one of my hip surgeries, I can’t remember which.  It started mild and only when I was in a lot of pain or when my anxiety was high but steadily became more often.  I recently read about a case where a person came out of surgery but couldn’t move.  It took a while but he slowly began moving again…[Read more]

    Hi Jean.  You are right, PD isn’t what you want to hear at all.   These last 7 months or so have been difficult to wrap my mind around the diagnosis.  However, after going through the symptoms and researching PD it does at least give me an answer.  It’s not just in my head anymore.  Thank you for the words of support.

    Chris replied to the topic Neurologist and treatment style in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 2 years, 6 months ago

    Definitely a partner.  I dealt with plenty of doctors with my bad hip who treated me like I didn’t know anything.  When my wife and I started asking questions because we did educate ourselves then the doctor treated us like troublemakers because we didn’t worship the ground they walked on.  Of course the worst doctors are the ones who work for wo…[Read more]

    Chris replied to the topic Have you experienced "pins and needles" in your fingers? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 6 months ago

    Pins and needles in my fingers as well as a lot of pain in my elbow and forearm had me going to an upper extremity doctor.  I thought I had hyperextended my elbow while getting into bed but no amount of p/t had helped to alleviate the pain.  So the doctor sent me to the neurologist to get an EMG thinking it might be a pinched nerve.  Everything wa…[Read more]

    Thank you for the welcome. I’m newly diagnosed, in March of this year, I’m 43. I’m on sinemet 4x a day and ropinerole 2x a day. So I’m trying to learn as much as I can about YOPD.
