    William R replied to the topic How do you manage freezing episodes? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 8 months, 2 weeks ago

    I have had Parkinson’s Disease for 8 years The freezing episodes were getting so bad that I had to curtail going out.  My neurologist started me on amantadine and it has helped immensely.  I still use the tricks, but since I have started the amantadine I no longer have to worry so much about falling and freezing.  I hope it  helps you as much as…[Read more]

    William R replied to the topic Are there any swimmers out there? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 12 months ago

    I was a breast stroke swimmer in high school. I have had Parkinson’s disease since 2013. Recently started swimming again and found with the breast stroke and side stroke I feel so uncoordinated that I stand still in the water. It is quite disheartening. I can still do the crawl fairly easily and can move thru the water with some speed, but I feel…[Read more]

    William R replied to the topic Entacapone in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 1 year, 3 months ago

    I developed what I call “screaming diarrhea”.  I stopped the entacapone and then started it again and the diarrhea came back. This happened three times. Needless to say I do not take any more. I wish you luck.

    William R replied to the topic How do you deal with frustration? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 1 year, 4 months ago

    I really want to thank those folks who wrote in on this subject. I too become frustrated especially on a “good day” when things go south. I appreciate the advice I will try to follow the suggestions given. I know my wife feels the frustration as well and many times I add to that frustration. This disease is unfair because my mind can do so many…[Read more]

    William R replied to the topic Do you notice that your symptoms worsen at particular times? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 1 year, 7 months ago

    It seems the more tired I become or as the evening wears on my symptoms become worse. The symptoms I am referring to are speech problems, incoordination, and balance.

    William R replied to the topic What's your most bizarre symptom? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Symptoms 1 year, 8 months ago

    I have PIGD Parkinson’s disease – the nice thing is no tremor. I have trouble pivoting to the right. I mean I will go down everytime I try to picot to the right. It gets quite comical for my wife to watch me have to turn to the left even when turning to the right would be the logical choice. I also have primary Raynaud’s syndrome (it is…[Read more]

    William R replied to the topic Pain with parkinson’s in the forum Using our forums 1 year, 9 months ago

    I too have pain. I have had Parkinson’s for 7 years and the pain I experience in an aching in lower limbs and shoulders. I have found that CBD (20 mg 3 x day) is about as effective as anything else I have but with much fewer side effects. As a retired physician I know full well the dangers of acetominophen, nsaids, and opiate medicines. I feel…[Read more]

    William R started the topic dystonias in the forum Using our forums 1 year, 11 months ago

    I have had Parkinson’s for 7 years. I also experience “on dystonia” starting approximately 1 hour after taking  a dose of sinemet. I have tried decreasing the dose and taking smaller amounts more frequently to no avail. I am wondering if a dbs would help. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

    William R replied to the topic What side effects do your medications have? in the forum Parkinson's Disease Medications 2 years ago

    It seems when I take sinemet for a while after the dose, I get a jaw and throat tightness that is uncomfortable and makes it harder to talk. Has anyone else experienced this? If I wait until the Parkinson’s symptoms come back full force, I experience less of the tightness. My dose 250/25 5 times a day and I have found if I take 1/2 of a pill every…[Read more]
