Parkinsons disease?
Parkinson's is one of the motor system disorders. All possible causes can't be agreed on but it may be genetic. In young-onset Parkinson's that affects children, there is a genetic component. Other causes are toxins, oxidation and it can be idiopathic (no known cause). The main symptoms are due to excessive muscle contractions. The two neurotransmitters responsible for muscle movement are acetylcholine and dopamine. Acetylcholine stimulates contractions while dopamine reduces contractions. It's been found that with Parkinson's, there is a massive loss of cellular activity and cell damage. Low levels of the enzymes needed to produce dopamine result in dopamine not being formed. When this happens, superoxide ion, a toxic element, is formed instead and damages neurons. There is no cure for this chronic and progressive disease. There are meds to treat symptoms and sometimes sugery is performed to lessen symptomatic problems. Side effects? Depends on the specific treatment or treatments.
Parkinson Disease?
I am dating a man that has Parkinson Diease. he is the most special man I have ever met. he is so nice. my concern is will his Parkinson Diease get worse. I have talked with him about my Ex- Husband that was sick with a diease. while dating my ex he took very good care of himself. when we got married my husband stopped taking care of himself & I had to do everything for him. that lead me to believe that he did not marry for love he just needed someone to take care of him. Do you think if I married this man with Parkinson's Diease, I would end up in the same kind of marriage I had before ?
Lord….let us SLEEP!I expect your poor hubby’s plum tuckered out by Parkinson’s! Depending on several things - most importantly:His duration of disease.2. How many chest infections he’s had in his time with PD.I would say because he’s exhausted.Parkinson’s is uniquely exhausting compared to its sister neurodegenerative disease - last longer than LBD, Alzheimer’s, ALS etc. It is profoundly exhausting. That’s why (before Levodopa) it was considered a 20-life sentence; sufferers who lived that long were just spent…and grateful for it. They suffered intensely.Your husband could not only be exhausted from the infection, but the antibiotics. Considering what he’s up against and his meds, it’s no surprise! As wife and care-giver to a husband with PD for near 20 years who’s has profoundly demonstrative parasomnias for many years, my advise is let him sleep. As long as he can and when he can! It’ll be better for the both of you in the long run.I feel for you - and your hubby. Please contact me if I can be of any help!
Nice, simple question on the surface; but I’m thinking your meaning is probably way deeper and deserves an answer!I have been writing about PD for years. My husband is now into his 18th year. If you or a loved one has Parkinson’s, I suspect you are asking the question because you understand just how damning this disease is. If that’s the case, I further contend that fluffy stuffed raccoons and chipper ‘let’s all just dance…or box’ have worn thin in your eyes as a rational approach to change things. You’d be right. Sugar-coating does nothing but keep up appearances for PD-fund-raising Orgs, Institutes and Foundations. However, some of them all getting some science done, but mostly they’re bogged down in politicking - the true cost of raising money!https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/y...and https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/w...Ultimately, the answer to your question is down to public perception. Even now, PD is considered (if at all!) as an ‘old dude’s shake’. Yet I’ve met so many - some in their early 20s and the odd one in their teens - who have been dx’ed. It is getting younger and more prevalent. There’s many websites describing the clinical stages of PD, but NONE from a sufferer’s perspective, odd eh? The reason is because it is such a BUSY disease….there is simply no time for anything else! Another reason that we don’t see lines of PwP in the high-streets is two-fold: they are constantly either being labeled or taken for ‘drunk,’ or they are too worried they’ll fall, make an idiot of themselves, have to go to a toilet quickly, be a burden….endless motor and non-motor demands that lock them in. This lady says it all:Invisible lives, invisible deaths: Tanith Muller on the hidden burden of Parkinson’sThe best thing you can do? Tell anyone you can get to listen! Pass the links about to all your friends and family because, soon enough, they’ll face someone freshly diagnosed that they know. Hope it helps!
I HAVE PARKINSONS DISEASE AND MY DR WILL NOT SIGN THE PAPER WORK FOR MY DISMISSAL FROM GRAND JURY DUTY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS .THANKS, JERRY.?
Tell the court people that you are happy to do it, but that you can't guarantee that you will be able to follow it all as you have PD which you find affects your concentration and memory. No guarantees, but officials don't want to risk a mistrial because a juror told them that they might struggle to follow everything. There ought to be some compensations for having such a debilitating condition.
Prime of Life: A Family's Story (MSA)Michael Fitzjohn's answer to What is MSA?Two forms of MSA, are recognized, according to whether Parkinsonian or cerebellarsymptoms predominateBoth types involve autonomic dysfunction, or dysautonomia. Autonomic symptoms usually appear first, though either motor symptoms or autonomic symptoms may appear first in the Parkinsonian typeI have the Parkinson type of MSA.Get your husband physical therapy. Get your husband pads and briefs. Don’t let your husband define himself as a victim. Keep him involved in anything that challenges his brain.I write here to help others and to keep my brain working as long as possible.Sadly your husband and I will not survive this disease, Some folks with MSA have lived as long as 16 years. I’m in my fourth year with MSA.Learn to live with a new realityTake extra care of yourself. Be kind to him and you. Treat him normally.Press Archives - MSA (multiple system atrophy.org)If you need information I never answered: message me on Facebook or mikefitzjohn1@gmail,com
My husband has Parkinson's. It took three years to be diagnosed. By then, he was having great difficulty walking, having soreness and rigidity in his muscles, and falling frequently. He had some twitching but nothing described as tremor by the number (n>3) of neurologists we saw. We also saw a rheumatologist and a physiatrist and he went through two rounds of PT. That is another story, however. PD affects sleep, movement and mood. It has changed my husband from the most patient, attentive dad into someone who is somewhat remote and has little patience. He is more often depressed. He walks with a cane and maybe should use a walker but doesn't want to, and I don't blame him. It struck him at the peak of his career. Fortunately, he doesn't have a job which requires physical labor or coordination, but in spite of this he has difficulty working. His voice frequently quits on him, even with the vocal exercises he does. He has some problems with word retrieval, which seems nearly universal in Parkinson's. The discomfort from the rigidity can be distracting. I have been a "stay at home," but now I have a new job, keeping my husband off disability for as long as possible, as long as he wants to work full time. I provide transportation as needed, and take up slack around the house. I attend all appts with him and count myself an active member of the treatment team. We attend a support group, and have met some amazing people, but it's hard to keep up the membership. There's such a range of disability. It's hard for those who are early in the disease progression to see people in later stages. It's a rough adjustment for the newly diagnosed. It's hard to see our friends get worse and lose independence. However, it doesn't ruin everything. My husband just finished his PhD. He's changed but is still the person I most enjoy being with. We adjust to the "new normal"--frequently, as it's always changing. That may be the hardest part. We're not Pollyanna-ish about the future. We have faced difficult questions and talked about things to come. But I still feel hopeful that we will handle the future at least as well as we have handled things so far.
Husbands, are you jealous of other men?
I don't know anything about Muslims but would suggest sitting down and talking to him about it. I more than anything think its the fact that you both are young and inexperienced. The easiest way out is yelling back and arguing cuz your both mad and then reconcile and be happy again, BUT you do get used to that and it becomes something normal, and u DONT want that. Just start by sitting down next to him, when he's well rested and not right after work or a bad day, and let him know ur EXACT feelings. Cry to him if u need to so he can c how its affecting u n how much u want ur marriage to work. Marriage is carrying more for the well being of your significant other. If that bothers him, try not to do it. It might not b a bad thing in ur eyes but u have to see how he does. Same way tomorrow he does something u don't like, even if he doesn't see it as being bad, you would want him to change. people sometimes don't know how to act when they r jealous, but if you really love each other you'll both learn how to communicate and respect each others feelings.
Since I am a person with Parkinson's Disease I asked my husband this question. He looked at me and stated he views me as no different, I am the love of his life and he never views helping me as a burden.Now, here is where I am going to add some information. I was diagnosed in 2013. I am in stage 2 going into stage 3 meaning both sides of my body will be affected. I need help with certain dressing tasks, stand by assistance when showering and bed positioning. I rarely cook due to tremors and weakness, we hired a cleaning person but I still help with the laundry. I cannot manage grocery shopping due to fatigue. I cannot travel easily but I try to go whenever I am able.That said, living with me is not easy but I try to maintain as much normalcy as I can. I refuse to go quietly.This is me. Every person with Parkinson's is different. We are individuals with a debilitating disease with no cure. We still want to be involved in life. We, I just ask for understanding.
