Relief from Tremors

Published by under tremors

Question:

Where can I find how others relieve tremors ? Mine get especially bad after 4pm………..it drives me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Sinemet does not help.

Thanks

Patricia

There is quite a bit of great information here on the Parkinsons Recoverty Blog. Look over to the right column and scroll down to the category listing that reads “tremors” Click on that word. It will take you to a listing of  postings that address ways people have found relief from their tremors.

I also suggest you listen to my two radio shows with Laurie Mischley who also has some suggestions that might interest you. I aired those interviews in June.

Physical Therapy and Swallowing: Two Suggestions That Helped

I appreciate your work very much. It has contributed a great deal to improving my life. For example, the doctors [Roya Sayadi, Ph.D. and Joel Herskowitz, M.D., authors of Swallow Safely] who were experts on swallowing ended much of my choking problems because of the build up of bacteria. A mouth cleansing usually brings things to an end. It was good to emphasize oral care because of this cavity’s proximity to the brain.

The man who was and is a physical therapist [Kevin Lockette, author of Move It] brought such passion to his work that I took up physical therapy when it was offered. It is very difficult to do. I am not doing the full load yet, but it is bringing hope of being less disabled as new pathways are created and felt. My PT has no idea what you go through with Parkinson’s, so today I explained a bit.

Sue Richard’s Story of Recovery

Published by under recovery

Parkinsons Recovery challenges the false belief that Parkinson’s is a degenerative “disease” by documenting cases of individuals who have made remarkable recoveries. Some of the recoveries are complete in the sense that the person is symptom free today. Other recoveries are partial in the sense that the person has seen remarkable improvements. Both cases are documented in my book Pioneers of Recovery.

Once anyone realizes that people do recover, it is much easier to fully and completely believe in your heart and soul that the body knows how to heal itself.

I have another remarkable story of recovery for you: Sue Richards – who is my guest on the radio show Thursday – September 16th at 11:00 am pacific time.

One year ago she was using a walker, unable to work and seriously handicapped. Today Sue walks without a walker. She is ready to look for work. She is  functional.

How did Sue make this miracle happen? Hear her complete story by calling the following toll free phone number during the radio show: (877) 590-0733
