| 47 Comments

  1. What I found most interesting in this article was the seemingly minimal positive result of Apomorphineis. I was curious as to how many patients are affected by a refractory “off state” to oral medications and how frequently these states would occur. With a rapid onset and a duration of relief only an hour or so its hard to believe that the benefit of the medication validates the side effects. Nausea occurs in most patients, and that has to be combated with a secondary medication. Are patients who have larger refractory periods self administering the medication hourly? If it’s being administered subcutaneously then the patient must be rotating spots on their bodies to avoid tissue damage, which seems taxing. Also if the medication is intended to be taken as a shot under the skin and it is dangerous to be injected into a vein then how easy is it to self-administer if the patient is experiencing tremors? It just seems like a very poor quality of treatment for a disease that is largely degenerative.

    • It was after my Parkinson disease second P.T called my doctor about the weakness in my legs and arms, by this time I have developed a gait in my walk and I fell more frequently. Only then did my doctor send me to a specialist and it was found that I had Parkinson’s and that I have had it for a while. I think because I was a woman that my signs and symptoms weren’t taken seriously and therefore left untreated for so long,I was taking pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily, I Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off. I found that none of the current medications worked effectively for me.I got tired of using those medications so I decided to apply the natural herbs formula that was prescribed to me by my second P.T, I purchase the herbal formula from WWW MADIBAHERBALCENTER COM , There has been a huge progression ever since I start the treatment plan which will last for months usage. all the symptoms and signs begin to disappear and am fully back to my shop like nothing happen to me.

  7. My husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease at 67. His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of handwriting, horrible driving skills, and his right arm is held at 45 degree angle. He was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, I quit my meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced us to Kycuyu Health Clinic Parkinson’s herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle. My husband has recovered significantly! Visit kycuyuhealthclinic. co m
