Early on in my diagnosis, about 1993, I heard that there was a study that had tied Parkinson's disease to Pesticide exposure. This has always lingered in my mind because of my incident with a crop duster directly spraying me.
Over the years, I have learned to be very conservative with my medications because the doctor informed me that they would only last for 20 years. And since I was a very young person with PD, I needed to be convservative with my medications.
THE BEST ADVICE THAT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED!!
Now, I am a medical miracle. During a recent Neurological visit, the doctor told me that I should be on 5 TIMES the amount of medication that I am on. Wow! But, I am still considered an unusual case. Fighting the disease with nutrition rather than living in a nursing home. Walking instead of being in a wheelchair. And yes, I have tried some crazy things. I would like to use this site to share my thoughts, experiences and recommendations with the Parkinsons community.
I have also started speaking locally to Parkinson's support groups. This has been a wonderfully rewarding experience.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY for PARKINSONS PATIENTS: (I know this is a hard one) Force yourself to drink more water! A MINIMUM of 60-100 ounces a day for someone weighing 120 pounds.
