Lindsey Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Darklord and I had a chat on MSN messenger the other day, I told him about this report my mom read on how a chemical in diet soda called Aspertane (or Aspertame, can't remember the spelling) can cause the condidtions that darklord has. My thoughts were confirmed when I asked if he drank Diet Soda, he said he did, and lots of it. I suggested he stop drinking it at once and see if his condidtions improve. I hope he took my advice.

Astrotoy7 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I'm a physical therapist and have worked with quite a few ppl with Parkisnon's over the years. I do know it can develop when you are young, but 18 is very young. The youngest confirmed parkinsons patient I had treated was in her mid 30s. However, "Parkinson's Disease" is more correctly called a syndrome, as it is the sum total of its relative causes and signs/symptoms(ie. it is not associated with any one particular event or affliction). It is related to the way certain cells in the brain manufacture, release and process this chemical called serotonin(most commonly known due to its importance in affecting rest and sleep). Therefore ppl quite likely to be labeled 'parkinsonian' if they display the common signs, *Tremor(only at rest) *slow walking, turning when walking *movement freezes, when walking, or going from sit to stand etc. *slurred speech this however does not constitute a formalised diagnosis of parksinsons disease. The MRI may provide more valuable information. Tremor is actually a common side effect of many psychotropic drugs(ie. drugs which affect the chemistry of the brain). A good friend of mine has epilipsy and is on medication ; He has noticed that over the years, since taking this medication he also has a very mild resting tremor... I hope things work out for you, good luck DarkLord and if there's anything you may want to ask, feel free to PM me MTFBWYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
