Hi dear colleague 😊 I'm a physical therapist whose clinical interest is the rehabilitation of Parkinson's disease. I really appreciate your great endeavor! Thanks for the videos you have made so far. Hugs and love from İstanbul 🤗

Both my father and my father-in-law suffer from Parkinson's. Your channel and others like it are a wealth of helpful information - keep up the great content!

This is great advice!!

I went from working 60-70 hours a week of hard physical labor, then weekends of housework - to disability within 3 years. One of the first symptoms was fatigue, where I found walking difficult. People noticed me lumbering. Once sinemet was started, I felt much better. A couple years later seligeline was added, which helped.

I’m still fatigued, but my 50% energy level is still better than some peoples 100%, lol. I can still mow the yard, do car and house repairs, but now pace myself.

This is exactly where my husband is right now. It's very troubling and confusing for him. This was fabulous information and we will take heed of your caring and precise words. Thank you so very much! 🦋✨💪🏻🧡

I’ve had Parkinson’s for almost 3 years now. My neurologist wanted to put me on meds, but I respectfully refused. I am doing great and am pretty much living a normal life, much to the dismay of my family and friends…and doctors! I attribute it ALL to my relationship with God. We all know God “designed” us to function best when we eat right, exercise and get adequate amounts of sleep. I do feel fatigued periodically, but taking a one or two-hour nap makes a huge difference. And if I still feel like I was hit by a bus, I say some prayers, then I’m back on my feet and start getting my chores done. I live in a wooded area and am still doing tons of yard work that blows my wife’s mind. The neurologist painted a doom and gloom picture for me, but God has different plans for me. He’s always taking great care of me! 😊

"Pure vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and cauliflower, etc., which contain natural nicotine are effective against Parkinson's if eaten frequently." Quote by Ptaah, talking to 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM), contact report 578, January 9th, 2014.

Great advice! I was dealing with incredible fatigue last year. I stopped drinking alcohol 31 Dec and I've been feeling better. I'm thinking it likely wasn't mixing well with meds.

Fatigue can occur pre-PD diagnosis. I thought I had long Covid. Then I developed tremor & some other symptoms, got diagnosed, & began taking ropinirole. Feeling somewhat better overall, but the fatigue won’t go away.

Am I glad I saw this on a google search. I have been extremely fatigued for months and thought it was something else. Getting Parkinson’s care from. VA which just means seeing a neurologist every 6 months. How to I find Parkinson’s specialists?

[HelloSailorboy]

I have had excellent results in resolving fatigue through using a red light helmet

I'm have this from past 7 months🤕, how do I differentiate between parkinson's and CFS? Please help

Kinda scary to me. I have all the symptoms. I’m go to physical therapy but no mention of Parkinson’s. 😬 at least I’m knowledgeable now to ask good questions. Thank you ❤
