My mother has 5th stage Parkinson’s and on Hospice. One morning last August she was so excited. She stood up, put her hands above her head and waved them- total balance! Her face was not frozen but showed emotion. Her hospice nurse came that morning and witnessed the change. It faded by late afternoon.
I am convinced there is a cure. We just do not know what it is.

My wife died of Parkinson's 3 years ago her brain just shut down even to the point of not being able to swallow or to digest food ,she had a fairly good 20 years with PD ,the last 3 years she was failing her quality of life due to dementia and I feel if we could have had her drink molre liquids the dementia would have abated for a long time..but she would not drink liquids as she did not like to pee often..so very sad. My heart goes out to all patients and their carepartners.

Ignore??? Dictores never suspect anything until it's well into it.

I was diagnosed at 46 and 6 years later I’m showing the signs of early dementia. My tremors are semi under control but it’s the unseen symptoms and the pain that are the worst. Now I’m just praying I die before I get so bad I’m a burden to my wife. I love her too much to put her through all that.

If you start to go to the doctors with the first symptoms  they don’t figure it out anyway..

My mom was recently diagnosed the beginning of this month. I cannot express the look I seen I’ve never seen that she is only 66 and now has Parkinson’s Disease and Vascular Diamentia and Alcoholism Dementia

I don’t care how early you detect, or what you do it is relentless. My husband has been on almost every combination of meds, two deep brain implants, all the physical therapy and speech therapy and yet it marches on, getting worse every day physically and mentally 😢

A suggestion to try.... it's free. Do not light your indoor environment with only LED and fluorescent bulbs. There needs to be co-exposure to near infrared light of a broad number of wavelengths, such as campfire light, and the incandescent bulbs that most of us grew up under. Only use these in the early evening, then darkness (near total) for several hours approaching bedtime. Keep the light bulbs closer to the floor than up at normal height. If you have fairly recently constructed windows, that have glazing that excludes near infrared light, consider opening a window or door in daylight to let that NIR flow indoors to reduce toxicity of the LED and fluorescent light you might also have. Monitor screens are same toxicity, so be careful to curb that addiction well before bedtime. The blue wavelength prominence in LED's and fluorescent harms pineal production of melatonin to go to the brain adequately to overcome the cortisol flight or fight hormone presence in brain, to then have enough paralysis induced to shut off non-essential systems , so that switches in the brain stem can be thrown to initiate the glymphatic brain cleanup system to deal with all the metabolic debris from the day, to allow brain to be ready for the next day w/o harming mitochondrial function. If you need to get up at might to pee, it is a sign that the paralysis was not adequate enough to throw another switch hormone to tell the kidneys to curtail urine production enough so that do not have to interrupt sleep QUALITY.... so the cleanup can continue. IMHO this just might be very important light quality management to slow chronic disease progression. Just my opinion by studying 'quantum biology of light. a good place to get clarity about this is to start on YT podcast interviews with an emerging community of researchers and doctors that are alarmed by our lifestyles eating 'junk light', frequently along with junk food. The Guy Foundation fall '25 series light, leads into far more clarification based on physics of light effects on biology.

Diet has to be playing a bigger part of causation of PD. No sugar, no refined or processed foods.reduce dairy. No cheddar cheese, causes constipation. That's a big problem for folks. Cook with glass. Store foods in glass as well. Stop use of plastics as much as possible. Don't go near chemicals used in gardening, farming, clothing drycleaning. Wash thoroughly all foods when prudent, like fresh fruits and veggies. Use caution getting X-rays, scans, mris etc. Not recommended over age 80.

Prayers fr you and you're familo

I knew I had PD since 2001, but I just hide it by avoid doing things that could show off the signs simply coz I loved my work.. now I can't hide it anymore 😭

I have the Parkinson desease, im 67 yo, but really young inside and i was still an athlete just 5 years ago, today I can't even talk at all and i can only walk on long distances, short distance is almost impossible, I can't write anymore so keyboarding is my only tool to communicate with    the people around me but it is getting more and more complicated.

Olfactory dysfunction is a huge issue following covid.

I know many ppl who had parkinsons and died  this is scaring me as i have dystonia  sinemet stops working after a while  i hope and pray there are cures soon on the horizon.

My maternal grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinson's. We saw, experienced and supported her through the entire journey. It was tough. Especially since around the same time of her diagnosis,  my mother was diagnosed with gall bladder cancer. My gran outlived my mom.

My mother died from Parkinson disease.  We lived there in west valley on 4000 west and 3250 south for years! Something must be in the area. Couldn't be a coincidence!

Excellent information.  I can simply relate to it as I took care of my father who suffered from parkinson.
Infact the fact that I had to bulldoze him to a neurophysician right on observing his fingers click and also observed his detached expression.
It was enough for me to take him to the doctor.
Early detection and regular medication helped him live a fairly  happy life for 17 years.BUT the last 3-4 years were very difficult for him and very depressing and difficult for me to see a wonderful and an extremely affection person going through such a dependent life.

I have it before they came up with the info !

How is it too late to recognise parkinsons? the end result is the same.

Even if you detect it early, there is very little you can do.
