Further to the above article there are 15% Parkinson's patients starting the levodopa thereapy report the above diseases. Is it the cause of the disease (excessive phlegm deep in the throat and saliva) the sideffect of the levodopa therapy? Is it the cause of the level of levodopa wearing off? What are the treatment i.e reducing or adjusting levodopa dose times or otherwise? What's about anti acid dose? Is it the cause of "heartburn" complaints aggravated by the Parkinson's progression with times? TEOKIMHOE

Dear Teo, Excessive phlegm among people with PD can have a number of different causes. - Some of the PD medications (particularly selegeline) can cause dry mouth and thickened phlegm - Some people tend to breathe through the mouth, rather than the nose, thus drying and thickening mucus and phlegm - Often, people drink too little water and other fluids, leading to mild dehydration. This, too, can lead to drying of the tissues of the mouth and throat, and thickened phlegm. I have not heard that PD itself, nor antacids, can cause this phlegm. However, acid reflux can cause damage to the throat, leading to coughing. But this is a different matter than the phlegm. Yes, heartburn can get worse over time, and this you must discuss with your physician, who will choose the best solution for your particular needs. It may be that something as simple as chewing Tums (calcium carbonate) will help; in more extreme cases, prescription medication may be needed._________________Best regards, Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD -- For a Parkinson Tip of the Day visit: http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but
I had to tell someone!

My symptoms started at the age of 47. My fingers on my left hand were stiff and were difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked did I hurt. I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from` a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later ,it was the onset of tremors starting in my right hand that caused my other symptoms to be recognized as Parkinson's.. I am now 59. With the new herbal medicine i purchase from totalcureherbsfoundation .c om was my only way to get rid of my PD,the herbal formula effectively reverse my condition and alleviate all symptoms.
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 .
