Some of you are aware of my fixation that PD is caused by long standing bio-mechanical aberrations in our bodies - which demand excess energy ALWAYS and thus gobble up our dopamine.

I have noticed over the past 10 years that every change - good or bad - in symptoms is preceeded by a physical event - such as massage, chiro, a fall, etc. you name it.

I recently started seeing 2 chiros. After the 2nd visit my symptoms began to receed...immediately. Subtly but surely. I wrote "better!" in my log as soon as I got home. Over the weekend ALL MY SYMPTOMS began improving significantly. I read a book, comfortably in a chair. Haven't been able to do this in 6 years! Tremor subsided by half. No more pain!. Erect posture effortlessly! Gait normalizing. Slept 6 1/2 hours solid! (Usually 2 hours max) I could go on and on. Everything was easy!

Then my 3rd trip to the chiro reversed all that positive stuff and I started going backwards again. A dozen more trips full of hope that they could find the magic spot again....and alas I am worse than ever. Seriously bad. I am looking for assisted living now.

How I have wished I did not return after the magic 2nd visit. I have no doubt I'd be well on my way to recovery. Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?

I don't know if it was a particular chiro move, a series in a certain order...or what. But I know what happened...just not how or why.

Clearly w/ these chiros it was a hit or miss deal...and one got it right by accident. People may find all this hard to believe but it happened.

So now what? I don't know. At the very least I wanted to tell this chapter in my PD life to hopefully raise awareness of the body work possibilities.
The only advice I can give is to urge you to stop whatever treatment helps when you notice good things happening...and let the body go with it.

Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? I would love to hear about it. Surely I'm not the only one!
