She accidentally ran into a PD specialist/researcher at a ballgame on vacation and they visited at length and that's what she was told. Started riding hers, and it really helped her.

Let's stick together and not let fear gain the upper hand. We can beat this thing one way or another.<br />BobBob Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002673722921780759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026966222179181004.post-51851920375746675632010-01-01T04:48:52.433-08:002010-01-01T04:48:52.433-08:00i totally agree bob,its ethier one opr the other,b...i totally agree bob,its ethier one opr the other,but i think that there is such a wide range of drugs available that it must be a case of trial and error in severe cases,i am so desperate to relieve my symptoms that i am trying to find out about clinical trials.<br /><br />alan robertsonalan robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875672846311402387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026966222179181004.post-22423478884319754862009-12-29T20:28:55.020-08:002009-12-29T20:28:55.020-08:00That seems to be the constant debate: drugs with s...That seems to be the constant debate: drugs with side effects or disease with side effects. In the end it feels like a "Hobson's Choice" (although upon looking that up perhaps it is more of a "Morton's Fork". But maybe we can just be glad that there is a choice, even if we live with the consequences of choosing.<br />BobBob Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002673722921780759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026966222179181004.post-91993010944812067292009-12-29T03:09:14.722-08:002009-12-29T03:09:14.722-08:00i can empathise with your comments on lack of arm ...i can empathise with your comments on lack of arm movement i am 49 and have had parkinsons for six years now,i have a severe tremor in the same arm so i suppose it does know how to move when it wants to which is more than a little annoying as is the fact that my consultant is reluctant to change medication because of percieved side affects,which begs the question which is the lesser of two evils.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026966222179181004.post-12075810625308763282009-12-22T13:47:45.553-08:002009-12-22T13:47:45.553-08:00Thanks for the encouragement.

Like bradycardia, or bradyphagia which is two symptoms of PD. (Slow heart rate and abnormal slowness when eating. <br />Also Akinesia "complete or partial loss of muscle movement" can be explained by anything with the letter A at the beginning of a word means "lack of". <br />Dont know if that helps at all.
