Parkinson's

Gosh, David - my former pastor is doing much better with the Parkinsons meds he is on now, he's more capable than he was 5 years ago, instead of vice versa. I know he was part of an experimental program, shall I ask him about what he's been taking?

I know that what you eat when - when you get your protein, etc, has made a big difference for him, but I cannot remember the schedule.

That is a big benefit of living here - we are right where many medical advances, and a huge front for medical research companies and world renowned medical facilities are. If they send you to Boston for anything, let us know!

Karen, could you ask him for me? I'd apperciate it. Besides that what an interesting excuse for a PT meeting!

I will talk to Rev. Wiborg or his son Sunday, and see what they say. I normally talk to the grandtwins more, but I don't think at age 4 they will know the names of Grandpa's medicines!

It never fails to amaze me how some of the nicest people can have the most problems with their health. You are such a dear man. Wishing you only the best.

Yes Marigold you are so right, David is a darling, and my adopted big brother, and it saddens me deeply that he has been afflicted with this, i am glad there is a lot of research going on now with Parkinsons, please keep us informed David how you go and you know i am holding your hand in spirit where ever you may be and my thoughts are never far from you, take care my big teddy bear.

David, I'm sorry to hear this, but hopefully you can get some medicine that helps - perhaps what Karen mentioned.

Sending lots of positive thoughts.

Thanks, Karen, for jogging my memory!

My dad was put on a low protein diet as well as large doses of Vitamin E. He also went to excercise classes for Parkinson's patients at a local hospital.

David, why don't you research Michael j Fox's website as well as the Parkinson's website for helpful hints. I know my docs must hate me, but sometimes you just have to speak your mind and tell them what you discovered and rattle their minds. It's your body. You've been through a lot and sound like a fighter. Keep the faith, dude!
