I understand that for someone who suffersfrom Parkinson, medication can be relieving and important for a good develpment. Sometimes the same happens Add therapy which some people trust in medication plus therapy, and some others believe that psychological work is the only solution. i believe therapy can help anybody, from parkinson to ADD.

Dry eye By Dr,Kathrynne
I use to have dry eyes and facial masked. I look tired and my eyes are dry.
I have tried eye drops but it is still dry and look tired.
Recently my eyes specialist inserted eye plug into my both eye and treated my problem.
I started smile and look energetic at all time.
Temporary or permanent silicone plugs can be inserted in the lacrimal (tear) drainage ducts in your eyelids to keep tears on your eye from draining away as quickly. Called lacrimal plugs or punctal plugs, they can be inserted painlessly while you're in the eye doctor's office and normally are not felt once inserted

Dear Mr. Teo,
Thank you for this interesting observation. Dry eyes are not uncommon, particularly as we age; and also among those with PD. This is something that people may want to discuss with their doctors.

My article
Thank you Teo that was an interesting article Mr. Loyd Tan was most certainly a devoted man to his religion, Family and the Parkinson group in Malaysia.
Teo you are also a busy man helping your friends and doing what you can to educate your people about Parkinson, I am sure you are appreciated.
The best of Health to you and your Family,
Deeann
HiDeeann,
Thank yu for your encouragement.
I find it is difficulty to deal people with PD unless there are changes on attitude that PD is an age aging disease and no treatment to be cured. In fact PD can be slow down by medication, exercises and positive on the disease that yu are not alone. In Topic: Is it dehydration or others?>

If you were at an altitude higher than at home, this could also cause such dizziness. Higher altitudes mean there is less oxygen available, and until your body adapts, it can result in weakness, shortness of breath, or dizziness.
Medications for PD can also cause dizziness, and possibly being in a new climate, combined with the medications, caused your sudden weakness. If the new climate was warmer, or colder, than you are used to, that could make a difference.
I would discuss this with your doctor, who is in a much better position to give you the personal direction you require.

Dear Dr. Kathrynne,
Thank you for your advise.
In fact dehydration is prevented if I have to rest at home a few days instead I go outdoor in the heated weather in order to adapt the changes of the climate from Cold to HOT.
As I was outdoor shopping in the winter I did not feel thirsty and less drinking for the past of three weeks from London,Paris,Rome and Spain.
Besides there were at different altitude when I flying back. I was from Higher altitudes to low and there is less oxygen available, and until your body adapts, it can result in weakness, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

fainting attack in parkinson's disease
Fainting attacks in Parkinson’s Disease
Fainting attacks are episodes of loss of consciousness that occur due to various reasons. It starts suddenly, usually within seconds and so fast that many patients fall onto the floor before they can react to it. The episodes are generally short, ranging from seconds to several minutes. Following the attack, patients usually regain consciousness. It can occur only once or more depending on how soon patients are brought to the hospital for treatment.
Fainting attacks, even if it occurs only once, are serious matter. Patients must be brought to the hospital immediately for two reasons. Firstly, they may indicate the presence of serious medical problems such as heart disease. Secondly, during the falls, some patients may be unlucky enough to develop internal injury. The most serious and potentially life-threatening is head injury with bleeding in the brain.
Fainting attacks do not just affect patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). It can happen in any patient, sometimes healthy people. Despite this, particular attention should be paid to PD patients because they have a higher risk of developing fainting attacks than anyone else. This is because most PD patients are elderly people who commonly have heart or brain diseases that can cause fainting attacks. In this article, I will discuss the various causes of fainting attacks among patients with such as follows;
a) Heart diseases
This is the most serious disease because heart problems can lead to immediate death. The usual heart problem that can cause fainting attacks is cardiac arrhythmia, which is a disorder of heart rhythm. Patients with cardiac arrhythmia get fainting attacks because the abnormal heart rhythm affects the normal heart function. This leads to reduced amount of blood and oxygen that go to the brain. As a result, the brain activity is disturbed and patients lose consciousness. Following the fall, patients regain consciousness within less than a minute.
Cardiac arrhythmia is a manifestation of several types of heart diseases. This could be a disorder that is called “sick sinus syndrome” that usually occurs in elderly people. In this disorder there is disruption of the electrical circuit in the heart due to ageing process. As a result, the heart rhythm is chaotic. The proper treatment for this problem is a heart pacemaker, whereby a battery sends electric signals to the heart in order to regulate the heart rhythm. Another type of heart disease is a heart attack that is caused by blockage of the blood vessels in the heart. Heart attack is also more common in the elderly people. In view of the strong tendency of elderly people to get heart diseases, anyone who has have a fainting attack must seek specialist treatment without delay.
b) Brain diseases
The most common brain disease that can cause fainting attacks is seizure or fit. This disorder is characterized by uncontrollable jerking of the limbs with loss of consciousness. The attack starts suddenly. Sometimes there are also dribbling of saliva, urine incontinence (passing urine without being able to control it) and bluish discolouration of the lips. Each attack usually lasts several minutes. Following the attack, the patient complains of headache and sleepiness. Sometimes, the patient becomes confused for up to one hour.
Seizure / fit can be either a disease on its own (epilepsy) or due to various other diseases such as stroke, brain tumour, brain infection, etc. The patient should be investigated immediately at the hospital and treated with drugs to prevent seizure from happening again.
c) Low blood pressure (postural hypotension)
This is condition which results in reduced amount of blood / oxygen going to the brain. Consequently, the patient loses consciousness. The fainting attacks typically occur when the patient is standing up from a sitting position or walking. The patient usually regains consciousness immediately following the attack (within less than one minute).
There are many reasons why a patient can develop postural hypotension. The most common cause in a PD patient is the medication itself (Madopar, Sinemet, Jumex, bromocriptine, Trivastal, etc). Occasionally, it is due to the PD itself. Other less common causes are dehydration (due to severe vomiting, diarhoea, bleeding in the stomach) and heart failure.
The treatment of postural hypotension depends on the cause. If it is due to Parkinson’s drugs, the dose of the drugs should be reduced. Usually, the dose of all other drugs is reduced before Madopar / Sinemet, because these two drugs are the most efficacious drugs in PD. At the same time, the patient is advised to sit on the bed or chair for about several minutes before standing up.
If these measures fail (and investigations have determined that there is no other causes such as heart failure), fludrocortisone can be used. This drug helps by elevating the blood pressure.
d) Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
In this condition, the blood sugar level is lower than normal (less than 2.5 mmol / l). As a result, patients lose consciousness. Hypoglycemia usually occurs in diabetic patients, either due to overdose of diabetic pills or missing the meal. In less severe cases, patients do not faint but develop symptoms such as dizziness, hunger, cold sweat and weakness of body.
Hypoglycemia is dangerous because it can kill a patient in a very short time. It is important to get a blood sugar level immediately to detect this condition. The immediate treatment of hypoglycemia is administration of sugar by giving sweet drinks (three to four teaspoons of sugar in a cup of water, Coca Cola, Pepsi, etc). If there is immediate access to hospital, the doctor can set up a drip to give sugar solution.
e) Sleep attacks
This is actually a very rare condition. During the attacks, patients just dose off without any warning. It happens at certain situation when people usually do not sleep, such as driving, doing computer work, having meals, etc. Sleep attacks are one of the very rare side effects of PD drugs.
f) Emotional problems
Occasionally, patients who have emotional problems may develop fainting attacks. It can be caused by extreme anger / sadness, e.g. hearing a very bad news. It should be emphasized that all other causes of fainting attacks must be excluded before the fainting attacks are attributed to emotional problem.
In conclusion, fainting attacks are serious disorder that are caused by various other potentially life threatening diseases. Patients should be immediately brought to the hospital for extensive investigations and treatment.

That's a good question. Facial masking is very common among people with PD, especially as PD progresses. It is not, to my knowledge, a diagnostic factor, as it does not necessarily present in the early stages. But if masking, along with other factors such as balance and tremor are present, it might be considered in diagnosis of PD.

dehydration,altitudes, and medication
Dear Mr. Teo,
It sounds like you got dizzy suddenly, and certainly dehydration could be a possibility. Dehydration is not uncommon when traveling, as it is often harder to remember to drink enough fluids.
If you were at an altitude higher than at home, this could also cause such dizziness. Higher altitudes mean there is less oxygen available, and until your body adapts, it can result in weakness, shortness of breath, or dizziness.
Medications for PD can also cause dizziness, and possibly being in a new climate, combined with the medications, caused your sudden weakness. If the new climate was warmer, or colder, than you are used to, that could make a difference.
I would discuss this with your doctor, who is in a much better position to give you the personal direction you require.
,
Dear Dr. Kathrynne,
Thank you for your advise.
In fact dehydration is prevented if I have to rest at home a few days instead I go outdoor in the heated weather in order to adapt the changes of the climate from Cold to HOT.
As I was outdoor shopping in the winter I did not feel thirsty and less drinking for the past of three weeks from London,Paris,Rome and Spain.
Besides there were at different altitude when I flying back. I was from Higher altitudes to low and there is less oxygen available, and until your body adapts, it can result in weakness, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

Early onset -slower progression
It is difficulty to interpret what and how the symptoms of early onset-slower progression?
As PD is a bouquet disease and is individual that have motor and non motor symptoms.
They do not come at the same time or together it is individual and the timing is different too.
As for me my PD is genetic/inherited as I have two brothers are PD. They are at the rate of three and four of PD and are at fast progression. They are at the age of 56 and 76 years old.
I have the symptoms of PD when I was at younger age.
I was diagnosed at the age of 65 years old as PD
Due to my determination and perservation and knowledge of the disease and medication I learn to fight the disease to slowdown from its progression. I am lucky by Lord grace I manage to slowdown my motor symptoms by strenous exercises however I still have non motor symptoms I pray the Lord for wisdom to be able to overcome early. Kindly visit website (Heroteo- the chronicles of a parkinson's fighter ) .

Dear Mr. Teo,
If you are doing this under your doctor’s supervision, then certainly continue. Ordinarily, I would not expect gargling salt water to affect blood pressure, but each person may respond differently.

That's a good question. Facial masking is very common among people with PD, especially as PD progresses. It is not, to my knowledge, a diagnostic factor, as it does not necessarily present in the early stages. But if masking, along with other factors such as balance and tremor are present, it might be considered in diagnosis of PD.

Dear Mr. Teo,
If you are doing this under your doctor’s supervision, then certainly continue. Ordinarily, I would not expect gargling salt water to affect blood pressure, but each person may respond differently.

Dry eye and facial masked
Dry eye and facial masked
I use to have dry eyes and facial masked. I look tired and my eyes are dry.
I have tried eye drops but it is still dry and look tired.
Recently my eyes specialist inserted eye plug into my both eye and treated my problem.
I started smile and look energetic at all time.
Temporary or permanent silicone plugs can be inserted in the lacrimal (tear) drainage ducts in your eyelids to keep tears on your eye from draining away as quickly. Called lacrimal plugs or punctal plugs, they can be inserted painlessly while you're in the eye doctor's office and normally are not felt once inserted

Dear Mr. Teo,
Thank you for this interesting observation. Dry eyes are not uncommon, particularly as we age; and also among those with PD. This is something that people may want to discuss with their doctors.

crashes or down episodes
Some doctors have a reasons not to prescribe PD medication to early on set young patients as they lose their effectiveness over time. The medication only treat the symptoms.
I have experienced on and off medications.
I started with small amount and started wearing off for effectiveness in few months as it treat the symptoms not the disease.
I learn to accept live with fear of the crashes or down episodes and pray a cure for the disease soon

I, too, pray for a cure for PD. You have a very positive attitude, and that is a great asset when managing PD symptoms.

Dear Mr. Teo,
Salt, even sea salt, can be a concern. It depends on your overall medical history. As you have had a transient ischemic attack, along with dizziness and PD, I would not be willing to advise you one way or the other. Only your personal physician is in a position to determine whether added sodium is likely to be beneficial.
For dizziness caused by hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure), it is often recommended to drink plenty of water. This increases the blood volume and may help to maintain a more even blood pressure. I would ask your doctor if increased use of fluids might be beneficial for you.
Best regards,

Is it dehydration or others? (3)
Dear Dr. Kathrynne,
Thank you for your advise.
In fact dehydration is prevented if I have to rest at home a few days instead I go outdoor in the heated weather in order to adapt the changes of the climate from Cold to HOT.
As I was outdoor shopping in the winter I did not feel thirsty and less drinking for the past of three weeks from London,Paris,Rome and Spain.
Besides there were at different altitude when I flying back. I was from Higher altitudes to low and there is less oxygen available, and until your body adapts, it can result in weakness, shortness of breath, or dizziness.
Regards
TEOKIMHOE
It sounds as though you have found your own answer, congratulations.

sleep disorder by Dr.Mark R.Conmes R.PH
I have sleep disorder for the past of five years after taking the Parkinson's medication.
My doctor prescribed me Seroquel 12.5 mg, Lexapro 5mg and Besquil 0.5 mg taken before bedtime.
Besides I take another one Besquil 0.5 mg in the afternoon daily.
I am so far not trouble with sleep.
Would I addicted with the medication?
Any alternative medications are safer?
Kindly advise

The addiction potential of theses Meds is very low. I really don't see a problem with that. As far as any other possible Meds, I say, " if it works, why change."
This obviously an issue you have been dealing with for some time now and is you finally have a good combo of Meds that work, I would stick with it.
I will let you know, for best results, take these medications about the same time every day. This way you maintain a
constant level in your system that will give you the greatest benefit.
