Stiff?

I have a friend who has been given a diagnosis of Parkinson’s. She asked me a week ago, if I was having any trouble with my legs being stiff? She complained that her legs were getting so stiff, she was really struggling to keep going. I thought about it, and told her, “No, My feet swell a little bit in the Evening, but I am not at all stiff.

then during the week as I was thinking about it, I recognized I had been stiff… previously. They say we should write down how we are feeling when we begin to use the LuminAloe, because we may not recognize as we are improving because the normalizing of health takes place over time. As I was pondering her stiffness during the week, it dawned on me that I had been stiff. I had felt so stiff in 2021, I had resorted to using a toilet seat riser, to make sitting down easier, and stop falling onto the commode. Then In October my daughters gave me a bidet to help me avoid UTI’s and I had to remove the six inch lift. At that point in time, it was difficult to sit gracefully. Due to stiffness, it was more like I would fall on. So, gradually, without noticing, the stiffness has left me. I have even been able to weed the flower bed and plant some pineapple plants.

So, this week I told my friend, when she told me she feels like her legs felt like they are loaded with cement… I told her I believe it is the more comprehensive nutrition that I have been consuming that made the difference for me.

I am trully grateful for awesome nutrition !!!

As requested

A caregiver of a PwP asked for me to address prisim lenses. Somehow I acquired a resource guide, put out by “Neuro Challenge” foundation for Parkinson’s. I found an item on page 35.. ‘Eyesight and PD’ and I quote:

“Parkinson’s disease can have profound effects on the eyes that can result in a significant decrease in a person’s quality of life…. the lossof the ability to read, watch TV, or even just see the environment can be a more devistating side effect….”

“Blepharospams are forceful closures of the eyelids and are a common problem in PD patients. Besides making it hard to see since the lids are closing a lot, it can be very hard to get medicationsinto the eye. The spasms can be treated with injections of medications (ex. Botox) into the eyelids to reduce the spasms.”

“Dry Eyes are a very common problem in PD patients. The dryness is usually from a combination of decreased blinking, decreased tear production, and the eyelids not being in proper position……. If artificial tears do not take care of the problem, prescription eye drops, punctual plugs, or even eyelid surgery can help improve the tear film.” ( I personally have had the eyelid surgery, where they implant something into the lower lid, leaving less of the eyeball exposed.)

“Double vision, especially when reading is another common complaint.This can be from changes in the eye causing the light to split and images to appear double, or from a misalignment of the eyes giving different images to the brain. Sometimes the treatment can be prisms in the glasses. Other options include Botoxto the eye muscles or strabismus surgery to improve alignment.”

I wanted to redirecct you to a prervious post I typed about when I first learned about Prism Lenses.
