    I am a 95 year old man and I have a effective solution (sort of ) for urinary control.  The NIH has reported studies that show some significant success with urinary control by taking Pumpkinseed oil.  I was diagnosed with PD 3 years ago, but my Neurologist said that I probably had it for 10 or 15 years but is was kept low level because of my very active lifestyle.  Of course it is hard to distinguish between PD and age related symptoms.  I did start to have to get up more often at night, sometimes 5 or 6 times.  After taking 1000 mg of Pumpkinseed oil and 450 mg of Saw Palmetto for a few weeks, I was getting up only 1,2,or 3 times per night.  This has worked for about a year now.  I told a friend who was 86 and had PD and a urinary problem and he had the same success that I had.  Try it, it is safe and inexpensive .

  • I see many advertisements about Parkinson’s products on FaceTime and most are “come on’s”.  They start by saying there is a brand new cure or helpful drug in glowing terms to lure you to look in further.  And it turns out to be just an ad for some product that is not related to the claim such as Deep Brain Surgery or some other well known drug.  It it relentless and they should be blocked.

    I am a 95 year old man.  I was diagnosed with PD 3 years ago.  Since then I have had more of a problem of having to get up to pee at night.  I started to take 1000 mg of pumpkin seed oil and 300 mg of Saw Palmeadow.  I now only get up 2 or 3 times at night.  I was getting up as much as 6 or7 times at night before.  My wife had read something about a chemical that helps this problem and the research showed that this chemical compound is found in pumpkinseed oil.  I told a friend about it and he had a similar success with it!  Try it!

    I have a problem with my toes on my left leg continually clenching and gripping. It often makes my toes very sore. My Neurologist prescribed Amantadine and it seems to help. Side effects are dry mouth, increase in urine get-ups at night and constipation all of which have come along with the PD. I’m 95 and am doing pretty well. I was diagnosed 3 years ago but my Neurologist thinks I have had it for 10 or 15 years but my very active lifestyle have kept it at bay. Anybody taking Amantadine?
