Is there a support group or website for the families of people who have PD? Thank you.

Question by PUNNY POETRESS: I have Parkinson’s Disease and just recently started to suffer from swollen ankles. My Dr. had both my lungs
and heart tested & everything came back normal. I’ve gained a lot of weight from inactivity plus my brother-in-law also has Parkinson’s & suffers from swollen ankles, too. So, is it a side effect of PD? Some people say swollen ankles can also be a sign of Diabetes, although I don’t have any other symptoms for that. Don’t worry, I have a follow-up appointment with my doctor this week but wanted your opinions – thanks!

Answer by Dustin M Take some ibuprofen. It’s an anti-inflammatory. It’ll help with the inflammation until you can get to your doctor and ask him what’s up. There’s a good chance it is a symptom of the PD, which is unfortunate.
Good luck though

How does Glutathione help in Parkinson’s Disease? Several factors explain why glutathione is so beneficial in Parkinson’s disease. 1. Glutathione increases the sensitivity of the brain to dopamine. So although glutathione doesn’t raise dopamine levels, it allows the dopamine in the brain to be more effective. 2. Glutathione’s powerful antioxidant activity protects the brain from free radical damage. 3. An even more intriguing benefit of glutathione lies in its powerful detoxification ability. Its a well known fact that most Parkinson’s patients are deficient in their ability to detoxify chemicals to which they are exposed. The unfortunate few who harbor an inherited flaw in their detoxification pathways are at far greater risk to the brain damaging effects of a wide variety of toxins. Glutathione is one of the most important components of the liver’s detoxification system. Glutathione therapy is one of the most effective techniques for enhancing liver and brain detoxification. Glutathione treatments considerably improve some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease including difficulties with rigidity, walking, movement, coordination and speech. A marked reduction of tremor has been observed as well as a decrease in depression. Glutathione and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (a glutathione precursor) have been shown to be very effective in protecting the nerves in the substantia nigra from being destroyed by oxidative stress.
