Ok it is Friday, so it is time for another post about Parkinson’s
Disease.
When you think about Parkinson’s do you connect it with
constipation? I never did, although I have now learnt that it is extremely common
for PD suffers to have to deal with it. This is because the normal muscular
activity of the bowel is reduced.
Thankfully I do not have an issue with this, but because I know
it can be a problem I make a note of each time I go just so when I am asked about
the problem, I have an idea how often I go. Some may think that is a bit odd
but what do I care.
It is a condition that can be made worse by anticholinergic
drugs as well as reduced physical exercise and activity.
That said it rarely causes major problems.
Moving on from that to skin problems this book I am using says
that it those with PD can have greasy, scaly skin, what the hell, no just no, I
do not want that. Ok I don’t want any of it but still.
The condition is called seborrhoea and results in greasy hair
and eyebrows with irritation and dandruff and a rather greasy shiny complexion.
I do not want to go back to my teenage years.
Ok to help keep this under control one should wash their hair
regularly, which I do and wash their skin daily with normal soap which I do. So
maybe I will not end up with these problems because I do not want them.
Next week we will talk about eyesight.
Medicine’s are probably the main reason for constipation.
ReplyDeleteI expect so
DeleteEight longgggggggg days of matza eating over Passover caused terrible constipation in most people I talked to. I hear the pain still :(
ReplyDeleteBloody hell

DeleteI never knew there were so many side effects.
ReplyDeleteMe either
DeleteI am glad you aren't having to deal with either of those issues! :)
ReplyDeleteSame here, I don't need them
DeleteHang in there, Jo-Anne; we are praying for you!
ReplyDeleteYou have enough side affects - pray no more are coming!
ReplyDeleteI ask God for strength and guidance all the time
DeleteSo many different symptoms- not to make light of it at all, but it begins to sound like Misty's Addisons disease. How on earth can a doctor diagnose it?
