I work with a Nutritionist and she recommended bitters. Slice a lemon in quarters and in about 4 ounces of water either warm or cold drink before or after meals. It increases saliva production which increases the breakdown of your food and easier to digest and pass. Also hydration and exercise is clutch, along with physical therapy and stretching.

Hey John, I had a similar experience right before I was officially diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. I woke as usual in the morning, went to use the bathroom and all went well there. I came out of the bathroom to take my morning meds and boom the worse pain ever in the stomach area. It took me almost 14 minutes to yell loud enough for my husband…[Read more]

Dear Bob, I started having Urniary urgency issues but I worked with PT who specializes in Pelvic Floor problems. I am not saying start there,  but with maybe a good pt. As far as the constipation I have had success working with a dietitian, the best suggestion she had and it works is to drink about 4 to 6 ounces of lemon water before each…[Read more]

I was diagnosed in 2019 at the age of 57. I had a resting tremor, gait and balance issues, double/blurry vision( caused by my left eye muscles weakening which causes the eye to turn inward)all of them came in different stages over the years but I started having involuntary movements. I also had undiagnosed pain in my back and stiff painful hips…[Read more]

I was diagnosed in 2019. Resting hand tremor, jerky movements, stiff legs and hip upon resting, blurry vision watching tv, blurry vision reading which I never had an issue with my eyes except for nearsightedness. My Neurologist is amazing abd started me on Azilect.5 for one month and increased to 1mg daily since October 2019. I had various issues,…[Read more]

No I have not but I have had all symptoms controlled by 1 mg of Azilect a day since starting in fall 2019 after being diagnosed at 57. I had a mild resting tremor, moderate balance issues especially when turning, short term memory, double and blurry vision. The vision issues are due to my left eye turning in, so I just wear reading glasses which…[Read more]

2 times a week I go to pt. I have an exercise bike, treadmill and almost everyother piece of equipment needed. I had very bad balance issues and within a year I was doing single leg squats on the balance board. I notice when I am inactive I have more pain in my groan and legs. I also try to walk the dog everyday. I also picked up my guitar and…[Read more]

Good day John,
I had leg cramping and my Neurologist recommeneded a glass of tonic water about an hour or 2 before bed. Works most nights for me. I have degenerative changes in my sciatica and the beginning of stenosis in the l3-l4 area.

I live in Penllyn Pa about 20 minutes west of Philadelphia. I was diagnosed early stage in August of 2019 but have been living with it for about 10 years prior now that I have learned more about early symptoms via this forum. I even sent a link to my husband and I encourage him to read the articles as sometimes I cannot articulate my physical and…[Read more]

I started playing guitar to help with the fine motor skills and once the Azilect calmed my mild resting tremor. Most of my PD involves muscle and tendon issues which pt helps tremendously. Seek a pt that specializes in sports medicine as I found that they arecmore inept to push you and focuses on balance issues ti eliminate falls.

I found drinking 2 6 to 8 ounce glasses of tonic water a day as I am only on Azilecy at this time.

I have a Unspecified Connective Disorder which I take Plaquenil for when active and Raynauds disease as well as which I use Nitrobid ointment

After being hospitalized for with an Illeys and spen 5 days in the hospital until U could pass the stool and have an MRI to rule out other things, tumor, etc. I has yet been diagnosed with PD but connected with a nutritionist who suggested bitters or to drink 2 small 4 to 6 ounces of warm water and 1/3 to 1/2 of lemon at least once a day and I…[Read more]
