Stress impacts medication for Parkinson’s

The existing advice is that we should take our medication on time. However those of us with Young Onset Parkinson’s are of working age or have demanding family lives. Stress burns through the meds. We need a flexible approach. It’s why we also need more help like #pip. #parkinsons #youngonsetparkinsons #levodopa #neurology #neurodegenerativedisease #powerforparkinsons #parkinsons #dwp

Brilliant. I doubt there is enough demand for product development, though, because we’re a relatively small slice of Parkinson’s pie.

Thanks for bringing this up. It is fact for me. I no longer work but anything more than my normal routine seems to shorten the efficacy of my normal meds.

I think the timing and amount of meds needs a re think for young onset

I don’t understand…I have complete autonomy to take my meds however I wish. My MDS says “whatever works”.

100% more heavily you work, not physical but mental. Does not work.
My job, required using my daily meds all in 8 hours. To perform or else not able.

Such a big issue that isn't taken into account at all when prescribing
