    Joyce replied to the topic Do you think there’s a correlation between gut health and Parkinson’s disease? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 months, 1 week ago

    Hi Gale,

    I was very happy to read your response. I would like to know if you take any medications for your stomach issues that may help-either prescription or over the counter. I too have tried the blender routine and the avoidance of spicy foods, some days are better than others.How was your H.Pylori found-did you have an endoscope? This stomach…[Read more]

    Joyce replied to the topic Do you think there’s a correlation between gut health and Parkinson’s disease? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 months, 1 week ago

    I am convinced there is a connection even before PD presents itself. Twenty years ago I  had an upheaval in my personal life which resulted in the loss of 30 pounds and IBS-D.  This eventually resolved as the emotional impact of the situation resolved. I was diagnosed in 2015 with PD. In 22021 my sister was diagnosed in July with a heart c…[Read more]

    Joyce replied to the topic Fainting in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    It definitely sounds like orthostatic hypotension, Use a blood pressure machine. Take your pressure sitting, then standing, remain standing and take bp again after 3 minutes. Typically bp will drop 10-20 units, mine dropped 50! Talk to your neurologist or heart doctor.

    The reason fainting occurs is to overcome gravity so blood flow can return…[Read more]

    Joyce replied to the topic Do you have theories about why you have Parkinsons? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 6 months ago

    I met a woman at Parkinson’s class who had lost a daughter, I am reading about the woman who had problems after delivering her third child, I remember being doubled up on the floor in stomach pain, later diagnosed as IBS  and losing 40 pounds, after finding out my husband had been unfaithful after 30 years together.  How many of us have e…[Read more]

    I was diagnosed in 2015. Started Levo/Carbo as did you Beth in January 2020. Long story short, after 3 months of “dizzziness” , the loss of 25 pounds, 2 trips to ER, 2 to GP and finally 1 trip to my neurologist, whom I had been unable to see due to the fact that during that time he suffered at heart attack at the ER, died,  and was brought back…[Read more]

    Joyce replied to the topic Swelling in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 2 years, 10 months ago

    Sorry it took me so long to get this going but there is a real connection to the salt and staying hydrated. The salt is why she is swollen. Keep feet elevated when possible and the doctor can prescribe compression socks but they are about 30.00 a pair,difficult to  put on an I usually poke me thumb threw them.  I have not tried them yet but  go to…[Read more]
