I just read that 2 cups of coffee a day could reduce the risk of getting Parkinsons. I totally disagree because my mom was an 8 cups a day coffee drinker for many years and here she is going on 11 years with PD. Now when I even give her half a cup diluted with milk she gets the shakes from the caffeine.

Can anyone else relate to this?

I have always been a heavy coffe drinker. I have had PD symptoms for five to ten years. I was too stuborn to admitt I had a problem until symptoms got worse and my grand daughter started to ask questions. Coffee does not seem to trigger my symptoms.

See, so much for the theory that heavy coffee drinkers don't get PD.

I did read that coffee in the morning helped lift their blood pressure.

My mom has high blood pressure that's under control. Drinking coffee doesn't make it go higher for her fortunately. It's just best if she doesn't drink it due to getting the shakes. She loves the flavor though.
