Call the company that makes her medicine and ask if they have a program for those who can’t afford their meds. Most do. You can look up the company on the container or online and then go to their site and click on “contact us”.

A question asked by Carl Hernz: Is there a connection between Parkinson’s disease, heat intolerance, and vision problems?
I have young-onset Parkinson’s disease and have developed significant vision problems as a result. I also have noticed some heat intolerance with a possible connection to making my vision (double-vision) a bit worse at times. Anyone know of any significant connection?

No 1 answer:

Answer by thebattwoman
Eye problems are not unusual in people with Parkinson’s disease. There’s a great article here explaining why:

http://www.healthandage.com/Home/gid2=1972

Also virtually all patients with Parkinson’s disease have evidence for a loss of a particular type of “automatic” nerves, called sympathetic nerves. Sympathetic nerves are responsible for the increases in the force and rate of the heartbeat during exercise, sweating and skin temperature changes during exposure to heat, tightening of blood vessels and regulation of blood pressure when a person stands up, and many other functions. So yes, heat intolerance can also be a factor.
