    Muscle spasms... I was hospitalized for a week with severe muscle spasms... I was not able to even walk. After a week of test, etc... The nurse told me to try vitamin E 400 units a day. And after months of suffering with muscle spasms... Vitamin E cured them in just a couple of days. That's been about 40 years ago and I still take one everyday. No more than 400 units a day.

    Young lady my wife died a year ago and one of the problems was Parkinson and you are helping me to understand what happened .Thankyou so much.
  • I’ve had several scans following mobility issues; constant headaches; neurology referrals….for a year now. And all Doctors seem to tell me is ‘let’s review in six months’ ! Which leaves me with symptoms yet no diagnosis much less advice or even dietary recommendations ! I’ve researched the symptoms I have which has led me here. I’ve learned more in a twenty minute video than from any consult so far ! Thank you

  • Still not convinced I have Parkinson's...been 3 years and it feels more like Long Haul Covid. I do have more non motor (hands & feet involuntary movement) taking Carpadova/ Leprodova for tremons early on in the diagnosis. I could not walk unattended the first 2 years of diagnosis and only recently regained that ability( with some gaint problems).Thank you for all you bring to the channel..it certainly is helpful and sooooo informative.

    I agree. . Exercise helps so much.
  • THANK YOU for the best information I have found about my PD symptoms anywhere! I’ve had it for years, seen & listened to several specialists, but actually broke into tears listening to you explain WHY I drool among several other symptoms I’ve been stumped by how to deal with, and why. GBU for helping me to realize it’s part of my Parkinson’s.

    Found a resolution to my constipation problem by accident. I have Non-Hogkin’s Lymphoma with a significant weight loss. As a PKD patient I had suffered from constipation for almost 10 years. My Home Health Care Provider began making the jello mixed with a clear high protein drink. Immediately, my stool became softer and I have not had constipation since.
