I’d suggest you get a referral to be assessor by a n E urologist.

There are a number of conditions that can cause your symptoms.

It might be something a lot less invasive to your quality of life than Parkinson’s disease.

Hi, I don’t know if I can help but I’m going to try…

When I was assessed for DBS I was found to be unsuitable for the procedure, I was given an explanation but I didn’t fully understand it, but I accepted it with some relief because I wasn’t keen to have someone fiddling inside my brain and I’ve encountered a number of people since for whom the procedure hasn’t worked out well.

Something that sticks out to me reading through the comments and your response is that your Dad can’t take normal Parkinson’s disease meds, because it causes adverse affects.

A point my neurologist made was even after the DBS most patients still have to take Pd meds…

You haven’t elaborated on whether it’s because it upsets him because of the method of ingestion.

I have a friend that uses a needle very similar to a diabetics to take this meds subcutaneously… this could provide an alternative.

Having been living with Pd for over 21 years I look at the 5 stages as just a number, which doesn’t relate to my experience… just knowing I have this condition is enough detail without trying to categorize it according to what I can expect to go wrong next…

I’m not sure if I’m explaining this very well… the bottom line is I think you should get a second opinion.

There could be non invasive alternative ways to help improve your Dads quality of life.

I’m trying not to get anyone’s nose out of joint here but I just don’t get the impression that he is getting the best advice or assistance to help him.

You only get one Dad.

I wish your Dad the very best!

Macadamia nuts are very oily which makes them easier to swallow…

I take 1 x magnesium 300 mg tablets per day which have a mild laxative effect which seems to balance out the constipation and I’ve found the magnesium helps my motor function (which surprised my neurologist).

Jar of peanut butter…

First aid.

Genuine Bible believing Christians aren’t homophobic, only those that are too lazy to read what the bible says preferring to blindly think and do whatever they taught from the pulpit.

I’d suggest you stop being so fragile.

I’m many environments giving a person a nickname or manipulating your name and is a form of acceptance.

What gave me away?

Are you feeling lucky? Well do you, punk?

Leave.

I’m happy with it just the way it is.

Get over it.

She was your sister, where were you?

True, police can only make a preemptive strike under extremely limited circumstances otherwise they’ve got to wait until someone does something wrong.

But what stops people breaking the law is the fear of getting caught, not because they’re breaking the law.

You could be anywhere, but so could I… but that’s not the issue, we can be identified by family or friends. I don’t take males seriously that hide behind an anonymous avatar.

As far as I’m concerned they aren’t confident in themselves nor do they really believe what they post.

Like you I’m not afraid to be called to account for any comments I make, not like the cowards that will run off at the mouth but hide behind an anonymous avatar…

The only heavy metal detox I’ve had was when my sound system packed it in and I couldn’t listen to my Deep Purple,Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath etc records.

I survived by listening to the radio and discovered the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd.

Man those were the days the epoch of great music

This seems to be an odd place to ask this question though

I’m not sure if I’ve overdosed on dumb today but this post doesn’t make any sense, and it’s the 3 rd one today I’m completely baffled by…

I believe genius is not a term one uses to define one self.

It is a recognition and acknowledgement arrived at by your peer group, in whatever discipline you are engaged, whether it be sports, science,technology exploration etc.

I have a very low tolerance for self described geniuses.

“I’m sorry I didn’t intent to make you feel uncomfortable, I was enchanted by your beauty.”

No, when a condom breaks…

Though I just realised your point…

HA!

It’s hard to believe he could he could be serious.

But you could respond:

“I was born to be real, not to be perfect.”

What’s the difference between a parachute and a prophylactic?

When a parachute breaks someone dies.

I’m a good listener, but I’m often criticized for wanting to fix things even when they just want someone to vent to.
