Welcome back to another week of weekly blog posts about Parkinson's disease!
Throughout the past three weeks, the posts have been focused on the foundations that are in the process of discovering a cure for Parkinson's disease, and are devoted 100% to research.
I believe that now it is time to focus on what is being done about Parkinson's disease today, and how patients are able to cope with the symptoms associated with Parkinson's.
Currently, the most effective way for patients to be able to deal with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease is through medication treatment which can be prescribed by either doctors, or handing over the counter at your local pharmacy by a certified pharmacist.
I am a 51 year old female that just found out I have Parkinson's about a year and half, but I have been having signs of it for years, tremors, depression, body weakness. ECT. I honestly don't think my doctor was reading the signs because of my gender and age. A few years ago I had my shoulder lock up on me and I was sent to a P.T since x-rays didn't show any physical damage. My shaking was getting worse and I began falling. Only when my speech became so bad that it brought concern to my dentist was Parkinson's even considered. He phoned my doctor with his concerns about my shaking and balance problems. By this time I was forgoing shots in the back of my neck for back and neck pain to which once again I was sent to a P.T (although x-rays showed no damage) I was told I had a few spurs which were most likely causing the pain. Here I was feeling like my whole body was falling apart and doctor could not find anything wrong, maybe in was all in my head? My doctor even seemed annoyed with me and things just kept progressing and I just kept it to myself, why bother going through testing and them finding nothing? Well, it was after my second P.T called my doctor about the weakness in my legs and arms, by this time I have developed a gait in my walk and I fell more frequently. Only then did my doctor send me to a specialist and it was found that I had Parkinson's, and that I have had it for awhile. I think because I was a woman that my signs and symptoms weren't taken seriously and therefor left untreated for so long,I was taking pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily, I Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off.I found that none of the current medications worked effective for me.I got tired of using those medication so I decided to apply natural herbs formula that was prescribed to me by my second P.T, i purchase the herbal formula from totalcureherbsfoundation. com, There has been huge progression ever since I start the treatment plan which will last for 15 weeks usage.all the symptoms and sign has begin to disappear .
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease nearly 4 years ago, at age 51. I had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness, sleeplessness, and slow movement. I was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but I had to stop due to side effects. I tried every shots available but nothing working. I read a lot of website where people who shared their testimonies kept mentioning Herbal medicine. I searched for a blog on herbal medicine for parkinson's. I just followed the website of Doctor that was shared on these testimonies. Since i started with the PD herbal treatment, i'm happy to report feeling better overall, the tremors seized, more energy and better coping with everyday life. My walk became steady and I stopped shaking. My energy improved. I am 90%better. I am confident I will be cured for more info contact dr.lewisamenico@yahoo.com
