When diagnosed I weighed 125 lbs. I had consistant weight until 50. Between 45 and 50 I suffered severe dyskenesia, bad enough to be placed in the hospital, put into a coma, and placed on a drug holiday. Twice. 52 years placed on Mirapex and weight climbed to 175. DBS at 51, gained 50 more pounds lbs. No dyskenesia, however severe rigidity and numbness in lower portion of body. Only 74% oxygen levels while sleeping. Have started working out in a gym to turn excess weight into muscle and speed up metabolism. Particularly in trunk and core muscle groups. Weight is slowly going down (very slowly.) Has only been 2 months, but am still working at it.
