mayjoe Posted Jul 21 2007 6:00PM	For the past 6 months I've had increasing problems with very low blood pressure after eating. It goes down to approx. 55 over 38 and I feel faint and wiped out. Not sure what's going on. Anyone have those symptoms and found the problem?
rkramesh Posted Aug 7 2007 11:39AM	For low bp take lot of salt water, about 10-15 glasses in a day for some days. dont stand up immediately from bef,first be in sitting position for some time before standing.try to work most often in standing position. if you feel tired ,rest a while in standing position.if you feel dizzy ,have a glss of fruit juice and relax a while on bed lying face down ,eyes closed. then after a while get up slowly. dont over exert beyond your capacity.take clonazepam half tab. if you feel exhusted .try to improve your digestion,by taking limited frequent meals and juice.avoid gas producing foods.take plane water in plenty especially with medication.god bless you/us all.
Buddie Posted Dec 9 2008 12:25PM	Has anyone had problems with falling backwards. My husband is falling quite often now. He has had PD for 12 years. Does anyone have any thoughts on how not to fall. It's becoming quite dangerous. Please help with any suggestions. Doctor only says to take more Sinemet.
maxyourlifenow Posted Feb 24 2009 1:16PM	Good Day; I am not sure if anyone has looked into increasing glutathione levels. This has been proven to be beneficial to many patients suffering from Parkinson's. Check out www.maxinhealth.com where there detailed information on a product called maxgxl which has proven to increase glutathione levels by as much as 300%. If you have any questions feel free to let me know. Take Care Gerry
maestir Posted Aug 15 2009 8:42PM	My husband had a bad time of fall backwards, I really think some PT might help, especially working with balance..

quilt diva Posted Aug 16 2010 11:49AM	Has anyone used Apokyn? That is the next step for my husband.
quilt diva Posted Aug 16 2010 11:51AM	SW medical in Dallas will not do DBS as my husband has a pacemaker/defibrulator. Is there any facility that does DBS under these circumstances and still uses an MRI? I heard about places that have a cardiac person there and "shut off" the pacemaker while DBS s done.
