My Parkinson's symptoms are still Less than Before my SHot and CHELATION THERAPY

        My Parkinson's symptoms are still sort of quiet right now.  A few people messaged me and told me that steroid shots are anti-inflammatory and that they suppress the brain's reaction to symptoms but they will surely come back.  That is awful but I will take the break!   Others told me that chelation therapy could help clear toxins from the body system and that could reduce Parkinson's symptoms. I added the article title in the next line if anyone wants to read about chelation therapy. I think it is IV infusion of a mixture of vitamins,  other agents, etc.    I will ask my neurologist about it when I see him later in the month. I think he will blow it off to be honest.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2783151/?fbclid=IwAR3BAyL9G65w2TT9bACkyRT43XMM2x0lqTFLFCWgpxDXHf86hScVC8106zo 

 I am by NO MEANS whatsoever an expert on Chelation and Parkinson's but I have been reading about it and it makes a lot of sense to me.

Heavy Metals, Chelation and Parkinson’s

Chelation therapy has proven to be very successful in treating Parkinson’s disease. This treatment is based on the use of strong detoxifying substances administered either orally or intravenously. Oral chelation therapy is accomplished safely at home. Intravenous chelation therapy uses EDTA as the detoxifying agent and must be done under the supervision of a qualified physician. This is relatively safe and is effective in ridding the body of toxins. The therapy is used to flush heavy metal toxins from the body–considered by some researchers to be the root cause of Parkinson’s.

Chelating agents used for Parkinson’s:

  • Desferal
  • Deferiprone
  • Apomorphine
  • Hydroxyquinolines

Natural Chelators:

  • Phytic acid
  • EGCG (Green Tea)

Other Alternative Treatments:

  • Acupuncture
  • Guided imagery meditation
  • Chiropractic
  • Yoga
  • Hypnosis
  • Biofeedback
  • Aromatherapy
  • Relaxation
  • Herbal remedies
  • Massage

        Olivia's friend Yana is here overnight with her boyfriend Ernesto.  He is a very polite young man!  Yana and Olivia were adopted from the same orphanage. I love when Olivia gets to visit with her because only they truly share childhood memories!  Yana said that she remembers the orphanage being a happy place because there were tons of  kids to play with all of the time! Yana and Ernesto looked at Olivia's book of photos from Ukraine. Olivia and Yana looked so cute in the photos, Yana looked about age 5 or 6 although she said she doesn't remember  being there when she was that young!

Akinetic-rigid Parkinson's Disease

Image
       My Parkinson's symptoms seem to be different almost everyday. Some days I am dog tired and other days I seem to have some energy.  It is difficult to make plans too far in advance because I never know what my Parkinson's will be like on any given day.  My worst Parkinson's symptoms are being off balance and overwhelmingly sleepy!!  I don't know if it is a Parkinson's symptom or  not but I now have such vivid and bizarre dreams! Perhaps it is the liquid medical marijuana that I take at night to help me sleep!! My sciatica,  however, seems to stay the same. It is just pain all of the time unless I take Tylenol or a muscle relaxer. I have spoken to several people who have Parkinson's and many also have sciatica. I asked the doc this morning and he said there is no corelation.   Today I saw a new neurologist at a city hospital.  He diagnosed me with Akinetic-rigid Parkinson's.  He told me that there are two different types of Parkinson's diseas

Does My Family Really Understand My PD LIMITATIONS??

Image
        I was diagnosed with PD about a year and a half ago but I think I had it for close to a year before that. Once I got on the Carbidopa Leodopa, my life settled back into a "new normal" routine.   My painful Sciatica has always bothered me more than the PD. I don't have tremors, at least not yet. I think that is because I am in the early stages. I have a handicap license plate so I don't have to park as far away from an entrance as I use to have to park.  My husband is always willing to drop me off at the entrance if I don't want to walk as far.  But I try to do the walk so that I stay agile and my muscles don't freeze up too much.   My most noticeable trait is my slow, and shuffling gait.  I can still drive, totally take care of all of my personal needs, go out socially, travel, cook, etc.  I am scared when I have to go up a flight of stairs because I am off balance and I feel like I might fall backwards. I have a death grip on the handrail!  I am not a

June 2

Image
                June 2 is a very special day in our family.  It was the day that my beloved daughter Amy was born. I was so excited to have a beautiful little girl.  She was my most precious gift and that feeling has never changed.   Amy died at age 18.  After her death, life had no meaning for  us.  We just wen through the motions of living and existing because we still had to finish raising Renee, who was only 13 when Amy died. Dan had told me that friends of his, also bereaved parents, had adopted a little boy from Ukraine. I thought they were absolutely crazy.  Fast forward a few years and that tiny seed grew in my mind. Maybe it was Divine Intervention, I don't know,  but we decided to adopt from Ukraine.  I am so thankful to Ukraine for giving me two of their most precious gifts.  We must have been twice as crazy as his friends because we adopted not once, but TWICE!! We adopted Olivia in March of 2007.  There is so much paperwork to adopt and we had to make several trips
