I used trich as an engineering apprentice on a daily basis from 1968 - 1972 whilst working as an apprentice fitter in precision engineering. My father also ran a hand laundry from the mid 50's to the...
Stella How did your vision and blood pressure problems manifest themselves? I have problems with both and chronic fatigue and was diagnosed with PD in 2004 at 51 years old and have no tremors. Thanks...
Hi Do you think the CoQ10 has helped you and if so in what way? Did you go straight to 1200mg dosage or build up to that amount? Hope you do not mind me asking but I recently purchased some of these...
Steve Have just tried the www.chron.com link and it says article is not there anymore, I also tried the archive. I saw it in Feb 2006 and printed a copy so if you want to read it post your email...
Steve I have found an article concerning a phase III clinical trial planned for CoQ10. www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/health/3681538.html Regards Chris...
Thanks for the feedback Steve. I wish I could run 1 mile a day!...
Deb Thank you for the information. Q10 is much more expensive in the UK and a dosage level of 1200mg a day will cost me around $200 a month. So if I am going to try it I will have to find a USA based...
Steve I have spend a far bit of time investiagting CoQ10 in the last couple of weeks and like you can find no other study reports since 2002. I am interested in it for its reported help with fatigue,...
Thanks Deb. How many mg of Q10 do you take a day, where do you buy it from and what do you pay for it? Hope you do not mind me asking. Regards Chris...
Mayfly Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately I had a very bad reaction to Cabergoline when I was first diagnosed which is why I now take Levodopa, so I have been reluctant to try another agonist....
Yes I agree I used to love hot weather but not anymore. I live in the uk and its 25C and very humid here today and I feel awful. Have also felt fatigued all day....
Yankeeemom, Thanks for the q10 info. I guess at $120 a month it must make a big difference to you to take them? Did you start on 1200mg a day or build the dose up slowly like other PD drugs? Chris...
Grace Where do you get your coQ10 From? How much do you pay. At the dosage level of 1200mg a day that you take my initial research is indicating a cost of £120 a month. I assume our GP's cannot...
Hello Grace No I do not have any home visits from anyone and thankfully so far no tremors but as you say the fatigue is just awful. I take Amantadine which helps with the fatigue but unfortunately it...
I believe Rotigotine was licensed for use as a transdermal patch in the UK earlier this year but I have not tried it as I cannot tolerate dopamine agonists. I do not know if Levodopa is available in...
I also get not only vivid but very, very strange dreams. I have PD not MSA but perhaps the common link is neurological illnesses in general....
Den/Billy/Ed Thank you all for your comments. I have researched PD extensively since I was diagnosed 2 years ago both via the Internet and through buying and reading every book I can find. Yet I have...
I take 100mg of Amantadine twice a day and Madopar125 4 times a day. Sleep ok and not depressed....
My general PD symptoms are not too bad (I do not shake yet). Apparently I have level 2 of 5. But the fatigue I am suffering is horrific. I am only 53 years old and have been diagnosed 2 years. Any...
