I try to drink a lot of water, but, but it comes down to choosing my poison; dehydration or living in the bathroom LOL. How do you handle dehydration?

Hi robert. Thnx for sharing your thoughts. I am glad to see u have a sense of humor, it will serve you well on your pd journey. I can appreciate what you say about all the pills. My doc knows better than to suggest another pill for me. I hate drugs but I do take the carbidopa/levodopa. I am still trying to figure out if I am over medicated or…[Read more]

.Janis. I am so sorry to hear about your life partner and I feel for you. Being a caregiver of a loved one can be so difficult.

Jean Mellano started the topic Aspirin and PD in the forum Parkinson’s Disease alternative treatments 6 days, 14 hours ago
There has been some research done into the impact of aspirin on PD:
https://www.parkinson.org/blog/research/aspirin-and-parkinsons
There is however conflicting and incomplete evidence to support its benefit against PD. What do you think of this information? Have you taken daily aspirin, if so, do you feel it is helping you?

Jean Mellano started the topic Did you have low blood pressure before PD diagnosis? in the forum Parkinson’s Disease Medications 1 week ago
A friend of mine said he was over-medicated and his Dr. cut back his C/L dosage. He normally has low blood pressure and apparently the C/L made him worse and he was fainting. Do you have low BP? Have you had to cut back on your meds dosage because of that?

Jean Mellano replied to the topic What was your first symptom? in the forum Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms 1 week ago
I feel for you and your husband…I retired in 2010 after 37 years in the IT industry (I was diagnosed in 2015). I would lay awake at night prior to retirement wondering what I would do with myself every day after retirement. Well, I am happy I retired as the job stress was getting to me and the days flew by. Now that I have PD, I am glad I d…[Read more]

Do you ever feel like you might be over medicated sometimes and at other times feel under-medicated? If you feel you are at the right dosage/frequency of meds, how long did t take you to get to that point?
