Guest guest Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Actually, I find myself agreeing with you. While I don’t think stress is a cause, I do think it is part of the equation. I do belong to both the Restless Legs Syndrome group and the HealingParkinsons group. I also feel that both are autoimmune related as there are so many that have been helped with LDN. Since I started LDN I now take half the amount of Mirapex that I took before. I have always enjoyed cooking, so the majority of the time when my children were growing up I cooked everything from scratch. We rarely ate anything processed and even more rarely ate out. Then I started working a very stressful job and found myself relying more on “convenience foodsâ€. That was when my health started to go downhill, too. Finally I was able to quit that job, but by then my Thyroid had given out and a couple of years later I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Then I really went downhill having one illness, hospitalization and surgery after another. This was between 1994 to 2008. Finally I realized that I was going to have to take care of myself and not rely on my doctor to take care of my health. By this time I had a computer, so I searched online for my health conditions and joined a lot of Yahoo groups so I could learn how to take care of myself. That was when I started to make a turnaround in my health.

When I say this I usually get booed off stage But to me it is obvious Parkinsons is a gut brain and nervous system problem. We need to get the gut right, with nutritions, the nervous system right with ketosis and the brain right with therapy Oh well, maybe one day LOL Love Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
