Our goal is to provide education to the public regarding Parkinson's disease, as well as other movement disorders and health concerns that are related.
I was a physical therapist from 1998-2001(New Jersey, USA & PR licensed). I graduated from medical school in 2005 and subsequently completed full residency training in Internal Medicine in 2009 and Neurology in 2012. Following that, I underwent a one-year Neuro-Critical Care fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic and another fellowship in Movement Disorders at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

    Dr Luis saludos desde Mexico. Tengo duda de porque le recetaron levodopa y carbidopa tomarla con coca cola. Con diagnostico de parkinsonismo lo toma media pastilla a las 8-12-4-8 al dia.

  • @luisezayasmdpt4397
    @luisezayasmdpt43976 күн бұрын

    Coca Cola contiene demaciada azúcar sin ningun valor nutritivo. Si le recetaron eso para disminuir la probabilidad de tener nausea, combinalo con otra cosa pero no Coca Cola or ninguna soda. El unico liquido que recomiendo es agua. En cuanto a la frecuencia de la levodopa eso depende de cada paciente. Si el parkinson esta empezando tomarlo a las 7 am, 12-1 pm y 6-7 pm esta bien, pero hay personas que lo necesitan mas frecuente.. Te recomiendo que veas un especialist en desordernes de movimiento. www.movementdisorders.org/MDS/Resources/Patient-Resources/Movement-Disorders-Specialist-Directory-Listing.htm

    Thank you for this presentation, Dr. Zayas. I can usually recognize the slight signs and symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD) well before other medically-trained or specialized diagnosticians/clinicians because I've had experience working with patients for many years with varying neurological and cognitive disorders, including PD. If caught early enough, progression can be slowed. There are multiple things a patient can do to slow the effects of this disabling disease: ROM exercises to prevent contractures, exercising in general, eating neuro-protective and neuro-regenerative foods like adaptogens and functional mushrooms (nootropics) and with cognitive stimulation. Pharmaceutical companies should produce better medication that affects M1 muscarinic receptors. A huge pathognomonic sign of PD very early on are violent or restless dreams. Resting tremors can occur in childhood and throughout adulthood and into the senior years, where they become much more pronounced. That's when you can also start to see the uncontrollable jerking movements due to the effects of demyelination. Shaky voice and vocal cord issues, as well as swallowing issues commonly occur first, as will the "masking" face of PD, where the patient's lack of expression becomes evident. There is a definite cognitive decline, with signs of dementia and almost mutism that can occur early on in PD. Behavioral changes also occur, such as hypersexuality or other pathological impulse control disorders (binge eating, compulsive shopping, gambling, etc.). It's my belief that demyelination diseases like this may be due to genetics; however, like many disorders and diseases, neurological insult can occur due to environmental factors like metallotoxins (like with deodorants which contain aluminum, or by the cumulative effects of vaccinations with metals in the adjuvants), viruses that invade and hijack and dismantle the nervous system (such as alpha viruses like herpes or coronaviruses), as well as bacterial infection (spirochetes, etc.) or post-infectious states secondary to such viruses or bacteria. Providers should prescribe neuroregenerative and neuroprotective supplements which affect M1 muscarinic receptors in the early stages of this disease, before radical demyelination. That's why it's important to recognize the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease early!❤

    I'm 49 and started getting a jaw tremor in my mid 30's. (I have Tourette and I'm autistic) Then, after a terrible infection in my bone marrow 9 years ago, that ate its way through my bones into my tissue. , I started having issues with muscle weakness and gait.. my gait has changed gradually over the years and I started falling a lot more , about 8 years ago, losing my balance, shake weak legs , to the point I walk with a stick due to falls. In the last three years , my gait has slowed, and I'm now shuffling a lot more . Both feet often turn in the way, and I often place the ball of my feet first. I get intermittent feelings like my face , arms, and legs don't belong to me, like a weird numb feeling.. Tremors have gradually worsened to hips, legs, hands, and fingers intermittently, almost aleays during resting.., I've also been having vision problems with partial hallucinations, like a slight distortion of peripheral vision , which is frightening and distance vision, slight hallucinations. I have moments where I lose sense of reality and can't tell the time and loss of long-term memory. (My G.P thinks the confusion is caused by meds I take for herniated discs, and tremors are possibly tourette related) which I don't think they are tourette related other than its the same arrangement of brain affected and dopamine in tourette and parkinsons. My doctor has referred me to a falls clinic at a local hospital, which is frustrating as I really felt i need to see a neurologist, as I'm pretty certain I have parkinsons.

    No es imposible darle una opinion sin evaluar a la paciente. Pero si la levodopa (Sinemet en USA) 25/100 no le esta mejorando los movimientos lentos o la rigidez -->lo mas seguro no tiene la enfermedad del parkinson y tiene otra cosa parecida. Los pacientes de la enfermedad del parkinson responden a la levodopa siempre y cuando ese sea el diagnositico. Los temblores frecuentemente no responden a la levodopa.

    I was diagnosed with SVD about 10 years ago. I have recently noticed that I am much slower in moving, my memory is being affected, my balance is off and I can't lift my left leg like I should when I walk. It is stiff and mildly drags....I can't seem to lift my toes on my left foot. I hope this doesn't mean I will need to go into a facility soon. 🥺 ADD: I also have SLE, am prediabetic and have moderately high blood pressure, but my doctor doesn't think I need any further eval or treatment. This makes me MAD! I do exercise regularly, but not vigorously. When I was diagnosed with SVD, I went in because I was having chest pain and they saw part of my heart had died. They did an Atherectomy thinking I had blocked arteries, which caused a blockage to my hear, butmy large arteries were fine. That's when I was diagnosed with SMV and IHD.
