I read online that Mirapex is for Parkinson's or RLS Syndrome.... I do not think it is a pain reliever like morphine. Good luck... hope you feel better.
Hi.
Mottling is a manifestation that something may be wrong with the blood vessels on the area involved, or from the oxygenation and level of red blood cells. It is very hard to pin this solely on parkinson's disease and even to the medications that you are taking. It is best to have the blood flow to the involved areas be evaluated, and this should be discussed with your doctor. Possible work up would include doppler ultrasound studies or angiograms.
Regards.
Any suggestions on holistic approach to Tx. Parkinson's Disease? What are some MJFox's alleviating PD method?
I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease last September 5th, soon after that my left foot started with tremors. Now the tremors have left my foot and are in my left hand. I took a whole regiman of antibiotics, I took amoxicilian since doxycyclin seemed to make me dizzy, but never had a second blood test to be sure the lyme was gone. My foot shook until about 2 months ago when my hand started to shake. I went to our family doctor, had blood work done and it came back positive for lyme.
Hi Cessy and welcome to our little MS community,
Diagnosis Parkinson's in a someone in their 30's would generally be classed as early onset Parkinson's and because of the rarity of Parkinson's for that age group, misdiagnoses would definitely be a possibility. I've actually read statistics that put the misdiagnosis rate as high as 1 in 5 in general for Parkinson's.
Thanks for your comment on Mirapex. Unfortunately for me, it is another drug that increases the dopamine and is also used for Parkinson's disease. It seems that all the drugs in that family of medications, I cannot take.
Keep us informed.
Parkinson's Plus is a term used to refer to a number of conditions that initially resemble Parkinson's disease, but are less likely to respond, if at all, to Parkinson's medications. Prognosis is poor, with a rapid decline and earlier death than PD. The following syndromes are included under the umbrella term of Parkinson's Plus: Multiple System Atrophy (MSA, Shy-Drager), Lewy body dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and PD with ALS.
Re my inquiry March 19th regarding a75 year old female whose head bobbed almost constantly at times, you replied it might indicate Parkinson's Disease and asked if there were any other symtons such as trembling of the hands. Trembling of the hands is not really noticeable but I did observe when she was holding a sheet of paper a slight movement.
Baclofen is a muscle relaxer used to treat spacisity in multiple sclerosis. Some fibro doctors use it because it's effective and doesn't knock you out. I used Soma, and I felt so out of it that I couldn't stand it. So I was switched to Baclofen because of the dopamine theory. I don't think that it's addictive, you can double check with a pharmacist.
Mirapex-I don't know the details about this med as far as addictive properties.

is someone's habit learning ability affected by parkinson's disease? I think the comment in this link is saying that it was affected initially but they were still able to learn habits despite having Parkinson's; is that right?
What i need to know is the muscle stiffness and also feeling of weakness and instability in the legs due to pituitary disorder or Parkinson's? How do i go about ascertaining this, could it be due to all the above? I have severe insomnia and generally feel very unwell, very tired, unable to walk far. I am a 56 yr old female who is/was a fitness freak, marathon runner and avid golfer, none of which i can do now.
I have tardive dyskinesia which is clinically similar to Parkinson's and I have tardive akathesia which is similar to restless legs syndrome but it would depend on the cause of it. If its clinically similar to Parkinson's, I did not find Bachlophen, Mirapex, Aricept and Requip to be of help but many people do. I was ruled out for Tetrabenzene and Namenda but those have shown to be of help.
Hi,
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder. Tremors, rigidity, slow movement (bradykinesia), poor balance, and difficulty walking (called parkinsonian gait) are characteristic primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease.There is no particular age for the occurance of the disease . There have been cases diagnosed with the disease at the age of 18. Please consult a neurologist for further details .
I had looked up some symptoms and see that I fit the bill 100% but I am really feeling ill from being tired, and light headed that this may be due to Celiac Disease. I see my doctor this week and hope to be tested. My folate is low and had low B-12 in the beginning of this onset and took injections for 6 months. I feel like if this is due to Celiac it may have progressed and I am frightened of the outcome of not being treated all this time.
