Hi, I've started following your blog because my mother has Parkinson's and I've found it very informative, thank you. I was interested in this post because my mother has exactly the opposite problem - she is skin and bone and cannot seem to put on weight. I'm Irish so I'm not sure that the US national Parkinson's association can help me but any tips you or your readers might have would be very welcome.

Thanks.

Thanks for the never ending stream of useful info and inspirational thoughts. Now I know why my wedding band won't fit any longer...mirapex and fluid retention !
Hope your new battery keeps you going and going and going,,,,,

Hi Anne,

Many folks with PD (like your Mom) lose weight because of tremor, dyskinesia, swallowing problems, etc.

I am quite sure that Kathrynne Holden can help you via the Internet regardless of the country where you live. Check out her website at:
www.nutritionyoucanlivewith.com

or contact her through Ask a PD Dietician through the National Parkinson's Foundation.

Good luck and please let me know how it turns out.

All the best,
Kate

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your kind words about my blog. Also, my wedding band will no longer fit because of fluid retention caused by PD meds.

I had the battery replacement surgery two weeks ago today, and so far, so good. Tom and I vacationed in Alaska the past week. I was relieved to have the surgery performed before Alaska. I can't imagine having the battery die while in some of the isolated parts that we visited.

Good luck on your PD journey,
Kate
