I find that she puts a lot of random words together and her sentences don’t make sense. She can’t think of the right words to say most of the time and her words are often slurred/mumbled.

I haven’t heard of this associated with Parkinson’s and I am wondering if this normal.

My doctor recommended using medications that is for Parkinson’s Disease, to help relieve my PLMD. Has anyone ever used it, or know someone who used it? What are some of the side effects?

My mother has Parkinson’s and tells me that she doesn’t know when she has to pass urine.

My grandfather is 80 years old, very tall and thin. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease about a year ago. He is on medication but it seems to have stopped working now. My grandparents live in a very desolate area and I doubt he will be able to get new medication.

How long does he have? On average?

and what cells of the body does parkinson disease affect?
thanks and NO STUIPID ANSWERS! i need it for a project that is due tommorow!

My grandpa has had parkinson’s disease for a long time. 5 years ago, he was seemingly healthy, could walk and everything. And now, he cant walk, cant talk good, twicthing alot, and very thin. Im really worried that his time to drawing near. If anyone has had a family member with parkinsons, please let me know everything that happened.

Parkinson Disease Symptoms

Parkinson disease belongs to the group of degenerating diseases that injure the brain, the hub of the central nervous system. The primary symptoms of Parkinson’s disease stem from the deterioration of the part of the brain that controls motor functioning. The primary cause of Parkinson’s disease is still speculative, though most researches believe it’s a combination of genetics and environment. One theory hypothesizes that neuronal deterioration in the brain is caused by the accumulation of free radicals as a result of exposure to toxins possible from food and pesticides.

It’s hard to track when a person with this disease first experienced signs of the disease. Most patients mentioned that they first noticed that something is wrong when one of their limbs was trembling. However, a closer inquiry indicates the subtle signs appeared before. The early signs many patients recalled having before the tremor were lack of blinking, Failure to swing one arm when walking, painful shoulder, discomfort of the neck, and feeling of inner trembling.

In most cases the first symptoms that were impossible to ignore appeared in one side of the body, for example, tremble in one of the limbs. The disease progresses slowly and gradually for a decade or more and than strikes the other limb at the same side of the body. Because of the deterioration in motor functioning most patients use a wheel chair in later stages of the disease.

Other symptoms caused by the decreasing of dosage of dopamine in the brain are involuntary tremors when resting-usually involuntary tremors of the limbs, muscles stiffness (losing the ability to make fast and spontaneous movements), slow voluntary movement, difficulties maintaining balance and stable gait (Stooped posture, a tendency to lean forward) an increased production of saliva (drooling), difficulty swallowing, softness of the voice and slurred speech (caused by lack of muscles control), ansomia- reduced sense of smell(inability to sense certain odors), loss of facial expression or “masking”, depression, anxieties, insomnia-sleep problems, constipation, increased sweating and inability to control urine.

Parkinson Disease Treatment

Parkinson disease is a chronic age related disease (mainly develops in people over the age of 50). The disease that affects the control of muscles causing uncontrolled shivering, tremors, muscles stiffness, speech disorders and unbalanced movement is resulted in the deterioration of certain nerve system. The deterioration is caused by the decrease of dopamine in the area of the brain that controls motor functioning called substantia nigra, when 80% of dopamine is lost the symptoms of the disease appear.  Currently, there is no cure; however, there are ways to control the symptoms and to prevent the disease from escalating at least for considerable period.

As many disease researches believe that the causes for this disease is a combination of both genetic tendencies and environmental stresses causing brain cell death.

The treatment today revolves around controlling the signs and symptoms for a long period as possible whilst minimizing possible side effects. However, even with medication and a close treatment the disease usually progresses after 4-6 years causing motor complications and dyskinesia.( a phenomenon that diminishes the control over voluntary movements) The efficacy of medication changes as the disease changes and progresses .

The treatment available today is medications that help protect the neurons that produce dopamine. They decelerate the cells degeneration rate.  One of the medicine is L-dopa is converted into dopamine crossing the blood-brain barrier. The discovery of this medicine was a real breakthrough; however the main shortcoming of this medicine is that overtime the efficacy wears off and may cause involuntary movement. Another drug therapy is usually used along with L-dopa to make it more effective is the Seligiline that functions an inhibitor of the enzyme monoamine oxidase B which breaks down dopamine. Seligiline is usually given in the early stages of the disease and known to cause fewer side effects than other drugs.

interested on any treatments for Parkinson’s Disease

I am doing some research and am wondering what is the youngest known cases of Parkinson’s disease in humans. After viewing some brain scan images it would seem that it could be possible that Parkinson’s could be started much like for example spinal Meningitis is started, except I don’t think it’s a form of Spinal Meningitis..That would be up to Lab researchers to verify of corse. If so the a earlyer diagnosis and treatment can be started..
In that’ this virus is started in spinal fluid area and spread to the brain cells.The human brain cells are different from spinal area cells thus the Brunt of Damage.

How is research going into stem cell treatments for Parkinson’s disease - is it looking like it will be a successful treatment?

Is it currently available as a treatment anywhere in the world?

My mam discovered when she was about 20ish that she had WPW. She says that i may have it aswell, as it may be family related and my heart sometimes goes into palpatations. how do you discover if you have WPW. do you need your blood taken or anything along those lines - because i am terrified of needles - and are there any other symtoms apart from the palpatations?

My aunt had Parkinson’s disease and was found one day with facial drooping on one side. No scans were performed to confirm if she had a stroke or not. It was just assumed she had one. No treatment was given toward her recovery and she developed pneumonia quickly and died within days. Mind you, nothing was given to treat pneumonia either. She was previously fairly active (got out and about with me for dinner and shopping etc) and although her face was drooping the stroke diagnosis baffled me as her blood pressure was always low-moderate. Has anyone heard of someone with low-mod blood pressure suffering stroke or even those with Parkinson’s as no one in the know has yet given me any answers. Thanks.

How manageable is Parkinson’s Disease? My father has an appointment with the neurologist on the 9th to do some testing. It is suspected that he might have PD. He is only 44. Is it very common that he would have this so young? Is it hereditary? Any info would be greatly appreciated. He was hospitalized a few months ago for what was thought to be Lymes Disease. After testing it came back not as Lymes but as Ehrilickiosis. Then last week while working he had a tremor as he described it which caused him to shoot himself in the thumb with a nail gun. So we went to the DR. and they pulled his chart and realized all his symptoms were NOT consistant with Ehlickiosis and in fact in the testing it came back negative. And his NEW DR. is sending him for testing. Is there anything else that can be done because the old DR. saw that the Ehrlickiosis came back NEGATIVE and still gave that to him as a diagnosis and he has been seeking treatment for that for the past few months. Any comments websites or gestures are greatly appreciated.

Jonathan has become increasingly rubbish over the past 2 years, Graham Norton is more fun than discussion and Piers Morgan is edited too much.

Parkinson was the King and pushed people. Think the Ali interviews. Meg Ryan cracking up. The laughter with Billy Connolly I miss it do you?

I developed Parkinson’s disease at 17. Now I’m 22. I don’t want and cannot afford treatment of any kind. How long does it it take to progress and end with biological death?

I don’t care less about treatment, sympathy and anything else, do not mention a bit of them because I despise parasitic cowards who strive for sympathy and waste a lot of money and resources from family and the state just to end up being perished by programmed legitimate death.

What I need is a concise answer with a concrete number to the point of my question: How long, how many years does it take to progress and end with biological death?

I demand a concrete number: How many years? Don’t waste your time to define and describe Parkinson’s disease. I have already informed myself about it all the way.
@elle343: Actually, I want to know how much time is left to finish my studying, get a degree and do something useful.

Im going into hospital (golden jubilee, clydebank) on tuesday 16th december for ablation and im terrified after reading all the info online i could find out about it, has anyone been through this? does it hurt? im also terrified of dying im 36 and my mum died of a heart attack at 38 so im just getting reall worked up , can anyone help?

I have been reading about glutathione IV treatments for slowing down or improving the symptoms of Parkinson’s. However, it only seems to be practiced in the alternative field. Has anyone had real experience with this treatment to validate it’s effectiveness? And safety?

i am doing it on Parkinson’s disease

i have to do a 1-3 page paper on a disease and i need it to be in this form

1-3 paragraphs about the drug
2-3 paragraphs signs and symptoms
1-3 paragraphs about the treatment
what is Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of certain nerve cells in a part of the brain (substantia nigra) that produces dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, that the brain uses to help direct and control movement. In Parkinson’s disease, these dopamine-producing nerve cells break down, dopamine levels drop, and brain signals directing movement become abnormal.There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease. Several different types of medication may be used to relieve symptoms. Brain surgery or deep brain stimulation also may be used to control symptoms in some people

Parkinson’s disease is a disease of the central nervous system that causes problems with body motions, including tremor (shakiness), rigidity (muscle stiffness), slowed body movements, unstable posture, and difficulty walking. It happens when nerve cells (neurons) in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra gradually die. These cells normally produce a chemical called dopamine that helps

Michael himself said so.

my acting director was just diagnosed with parkinson’s. so I loked it up on wikipedia, but a lot of teh stuff didn’t apply to her, or it was about the history, causes, etc.

so what can you tell me about the treatment, will she get better, does it hurt, etc. thanks in advance!

Does he have it?
and if so who is another famous person from history that has is??
H/W errgg

what are the treatment for these diseases?

What did she say or do that made everyone think she was so horrible? I am only asking because I never saw it and magazines and newspapers keep referring to it as a reason for her unpopularity. Is it onYoutube?

Had a look on you tube but couldn’t see it…..
Thanks

I’m trying to find a neurologist for my 76 year old Dad who was diagnosed with PD 8 years ago. We’ve been to several in the area but I want to find an exceptional doctor who seeks a holistic approach to treatment and goes above and beyond.

My father have Parkinson disease and I would like to know If there is any cure discovered or something..
Thanks!

sort of virtuous woman or something.May I ask,what exactly did Princess Diana do to place herself in a bracket above Jade Goody or anyone else?Pure snobbery at its finest-don’t you agree?

a. euphenics
b. reproductive cloning
c. nuclear transplantation
d. therapeutic cloning
e. eugenics

I have developed a tremor mainly in my right hand which often comes on when I am just sitting down relaxing. Somebody has told me that this is one of the first signs of this disease, is that right and what other symptoms are you likely to get as well?

People have been desperately trying to alert that vitamin B6 is helpful.

(People in Japan sent home from hospital because nothing more could be done for them, began to recover when they ate food containing vitamin B6.)

Yet a website says
"Supplements containing vitamin B6 should be avoided by patients taking levodopa."
http://www.pharmj.com/noticeboard/tips/dietary/10parkinsons.html

Which statement is false.
a. the frequency of this metoclopramide causing extrapyramidal symptoms and depressions is highest in those with history of mental illness, children ans older adults.
b. this medication may cause drowsiness, confusion or depression
c. This medication is first line treatment for GERD.
d. this drug should be used with great caution in persons with Parkinson’s Disease as it blocks dopamine receptors and may worsen symptoms of PD.

My nan has Parkinson’s Disease and we would like to know ways of supporting her. Do you know of any organisations/websites that could help? She lives alone and we would like to know of ways in which to support her, and make her life more manageable.

Thank you xx

My essay is focused around treatment options available to Parkinson’s disease patients. In my essay I talk about drugs available, surgery methods, and future treatments such as gene therapy and stem cell transplants. I just need a catchy title but I’m drawing blanks :(

My uncle has beendiagnosed with parkinson’s disease and having some slurring of speech and loss of appetite. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this disease and do they know anything that will treat this. This can include medicine or natural health treatments?

Iam thinking of buying an parkinson cowan double oven gas cooker ,does anyone else own one? are they a good buy?

his honour, except sit on his bum for decades and talk to rich people, talk into a microphone and write some kids books, im sure its not a hard thing to do
randomM - i have sat on bum and talked to people, i have talked in a microphone. not wrote a kids book yet, may get me an honor if i did

Any info about treatments, future cures you may have heard of and things that can help people cope with it and get their quality of life back? Thank you
F.A.O So Called Semi Pro Footballer (u wish) people like you sholdnt be allowed to communicate on here if you are only going to joke about what is actually a serious and depressing health condition. You are abusive and a time waster. How dare you joke about a condition that efects millions of people when all I am trying to do is gain information and help from people who actually give a damn!!!! I have reported you!

Parkinson’s phenotypes appear in older age and the person has equal chance to have normal reproduction like usual people.

I’m doing a report on it for school and i have a lot of facts on it but im asking in case there is more i need to know. We have to write acting like were them so that we can see how it is in their shoes and then we have to the the diagnosis and treatments/coping with the disease.
Anyone have any help to give?

Remember Muhammad Ali on the parkinson show
why did he call the white american ‘devil’

A 41 years old man with parkinson’s disease is admitted to the hospital after experiencing severe night mares and periods of confusion. during lucid periods, he is very disturbed by these manifestations. at other times, he believes that his wife is participating in a conspiracy to harm him. what assessments and intervention should you consider? Are hallucinations and paronia typical manifestations of parkinson’s disease? Might the client’s manifestations be related to treatment or to some cause other than parkinson’s disease?

my mom found out she had Parkinson’s last year. Probably runs in families too I suppose. what would be the treatment or medications for this disease? please tell me if you know, it will be very appreciated.

They must like to wriggle a bit more in bed

I am doing a biology research assignment and I’m wondering what other types of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, is hoping to be cured through the use of embryonic stem cell treatments. I understand that some people are against this method and all but this is just for a school research assignment :)

Any personal experiences are welcome or general knowledge is fine too.

Thanks a lot!

Very badly wounded in fighting for this country….Very badly let down by the POLITICIANS who sent him…..Nothing new there then !!

I like to know how possible to stable from Parkinson’s Disease or cure pls?

Why are embryonic stem cells an effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease? What makes them better than say deep brain stimulation or dopamine enhancing drugs such as Levodopa?

Thanks

Im doing a research project for biology.Its due tomorrow but im in desperate need of help.Im struggling to find the number of parkinson’s disease cases in sa and globally.please help if you can.asap

In my research on Parkinson’s (I have it), I came across an interesting finding - a disease called tardive dyskinesia which is caused by TOO MUCH L-dopa. Parkinson’s is caused by not enough L-dopa (which is converted to dopamine in the brain– the dopamine deficiency is the cause of the neurological symptoms).

The treatment for tardive dyskinesia is to reduce L-dopa.
The treatment for Parkinson’s is to increase L-dopa.

The amino acids which convert to L-dopa are the aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan) . Those with tardive dyskinesia are prescribed a regimen which avoids these amino acids. Instead they take a set of amino acids known as ‘branched chain amino acids’ (bcaa) on an empty stomach because these bcaa’s do not produce L-dopa. But, the VERY INTERESTING fact is that bcaa’s and the aromatic amino acids compete for transport across the blood-brain barrier.

Would a regimen of aromatic amino acids on an empty stomach promote L-dopa synthesis?

what is the empirical formula of the compound?

choose one

1. C9H9NO4

2. C9H11NO4

3. C5H11NO4

4. C8H10NO4

5. C7H10NO4

i need to find a parkinson disease exersise dvd for my aunt in germany,as she is not good with the internet,and asked me to fin one for her in england,unfortunately she doesn’t speek english hence im trying to find it in german.thanks

This program was on Sunday 4/23/06 with the actor Michael J. Fox who has Parkinson’s disease. An instrument was shown that can strenghten the muscles in the throat to help patient’s swallow better. Difficulty swallowing can be a symptom of PD.

I’d go for Parkinson’s, I’d prefer to spill half my pint than forget where I’d put it.
I tried to pu this on jokes ….. Honest
sorry put ..

One of my best friend has Parkinson’s disease going into 4th or 5th year. He is taking medication to control movement and the dosage is now up to 15 pills a day. Is there a cure/treatment for this disease? What can be done to reverse it? Are there any therapies to halt this disease? Are there any herbal suplements?

Any nominations and why?

This isn’t a jibe at Ms Goody - I’m simply wondering who is a good role model?

The neuro-psych tests show what appear to be learning disabilities that were not there before. Since learning disabled people can be helped, is anyone working on this for parkinson dementia? My son, at 53, has had pd for 20 years. He is very bright but realizes his limitations. Help, anyone?

In my opinion he came across as rude and and would not have got away with his manner with any other star

I was diagnosed when I was 44 in 2005. I have come through a long psycological journey and want to share how I have reached where I am today. I am setting up a web site for to help support fellow sufferers and would like your thoughts/suggestions.

I hope to hear from you soon

The answer for my multiple choice question
(Which of the following might be beneficial in treating a patient with Parkinson’s Disease?)is: "A presynaptic dopamine autoreceptor antagonist."

Why is this? What exactly is an autoreceptor antagonist? I know that dopamine antagonists actually worsen Parkinsonian symptoms.
oh my god…no minors please! Your answer is NOT even close!

I study pharmacy in a UNIVERSITY

is there any homeopathic medicine for trembling,stiffness and dizziness.(symptoms of parkinsons disease)i m facing all these.

What I mean is, would that person return to how they were before the disease came on?

Seeya you are mentally old if not physically
Unfortunately old people are able to read the common press and jump on the bandwagon

My 75 year old mother has started bending towards one side due to this problem

it is maybe important to mention that people normally show the symptoms of the disease in their old age and have a very normal chance to reproduce like other healthy people.

Can you tell me if dopamine works?
What are the the side effects and how can she minimize them?

Can anyone tell me if it is worth getting fixed and roughly how much would it cost? I am in Ireland. Everything, bar the door, is working fine. It is about 12 yrs old. I would be grateful if someone who knows would help me out with this question. Thanks

is there anything you can do at home that can help reduce the growth rate of parkinson’s disease?
like maybe exercising? is there anything that you can eat also? (other than drugs)

i know that it does but how also can u find out :
how exercise helps cure huntington’s disease and alzymer’s disease
thank you very much for your help
SO SORRY i mean how does it help relive the symptons

or have we just found treatments? any sources on the matter would be great, so i can read them and get informed.

I’m doing a brochure for a health class I’m in and I want to list the most common treatments in brief sentences. Also, are there any lifestyle and/or nutritional changes this disease requires?

Also, what is the prognosis, and how do people with Parkinson’s usually cope with it?

Thanks a bunch!

I have an older relative who’s in the early stages on Parkinson’s Disease. She’s using the current drug therapies to reduce symptoms, but, of course, every year her overall health and mobility diminishes. Does anyone know of any successful alternative therapies or up-and-coming mainstream therapies that have had success with arresting this illness. Thanks very much.

I am 41 yrs old. my father and granpa and great granpa all had parkinsons. I have two young sons of my own and would like to see them grow up.

what is the process involved in the creation of the neurons, in therapeutic cloning?

I just want to know.It easy to me if I know the symptoms of both of disease for my preparation for my lovely parents.

we got the replacement part but no instruction on how to do it

My Grandmother has had this for 22 years. I just wondered if anyone knows if you can live as much as 30 years or more with this disease? Thanks very much in advance for any genuine replies.

I’m watching a program featuring Michael J. Fox, filmed this year, and I think he’s the producer as well. It’ about optimism. I am completely amazed and so glad to see his improved appearance. There is hardly any of the shakiness, uncontrolled movement, and difficulty speaking he’s had for several years! I haven’t seen him on TV for quite a while, but always thought Parkinson’s was a condition that always gets progressively worse. His condition in this program almost seems to be reversed.

My grandad who has Parkinson’s had a fall about 3 months ago and hasn’t had much strength since but also his symptoms of Parkinson’s seem to be worse.

Please answer me in detail about Parkinson disease.

HOw would you feel if you were to see a parkinson’s sufferer trembling in public?

Frightened
or
Manageable to cope with seeing
or
Ok

A relative of mine is experiencing this and it is awful. I want to know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Medical professionals are not giving answers and this has been going on for almost 6 months. The medication causing the psychosis has been taken off him but the psychosis has not stopped. He is now on anti-psychotic medication which makes his movement worse.

Also, are there any alternative medicine treatments, e.g. homeopathy which can give real relief, even cure??

after being dropped by the BBC? He is an old and out of date piece of woodwork to put it kindly. It was a good day for television when we finally moved on and stopped watching him. Can’t he go away gracefully and stop jumping on the latest bandwagon?

i liked jade goody very much and followed her through her career , and did like parkinson but have gone right off him after what he said about jade goody , how could he be so heartless ? , i think he is a very arrogant smug old man who thinks very highly of himself now does anybody else ?

I am studying at the moment about Parkinson’s disease. One of the symptoms of the condition is that there is diminished movement, so why is one of the treatment for it is to block acetycholine release from striatal cholinergic neurons when this neurotransmitter has exhibitory propeties and Parkinson’s disease symptoms has diminished movement? Also what is the role of dopamine in this condition?

Parkinson’s law: That work expands to fill the time available for it.
Murphy’s law (also known as Sod’s law): If something can go wrong it will go wrong.

When they work together just one of the things you wanted to get done, gets done, because everything which could go wrong while doing it goes wrong, it means that even Parkinson’s law goes wrong, and there is not enough time to get the work done, no matter how much time you put aside for it.

A dear friend of mine has Stage 3A lung cancer, but also has Parkinson’s Disease, and there appear to be limited treatment options. Can anyone provide some guidance on this issue?
