    John Bredenkamp replied to the topic Do you struggle with anxiety and depression? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    Wow, this question sure elicited a lot of response.

So I’ve tended to rather listen more than…[Read more]

    John Bredenkamp replied to the topic Do you cramp up alot? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    I was diagnosed with PD 18 months ago at the age of 70. I have always been active and never had cramps until about six weeks ago. I have a weekly one on one Pilates class and lately have been experiencing severe cramping in my calves, but mainly in the arches of my feet and 4th and 5th toes of my left foot.

I too am concerned that at age 70 I’m “at risk” anyway, but have over the years often had very serious bronchitis during the flu season. I…[Read more]

    John Bredenkamp replied to the topic Diagnosed July 2020 in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 6 months ago

    Hi Beth, I’ve only been on this PD Journey for four months now, and over the first three months started on  Carbidopa/Levodopa, 25-100 mg taking only half a tablet per day and increasing every few days until I was on one and a half tabs three times a day. My walking improved as did my hand control, but the day I got to two tablets three times a…[Read more]
