Default PD and "Runner's High"

I'm doing a bit of research into whether people with Parkinson's experience "Runner's High" the same way healthy controls do. If you have a moment, could you respond with a comment that let's me know:

A) After diagnosis with PD, do you still get runner's high when you exercise long and hard

B) Before diagnosis with PD, did you used to get it?

Thanks. This is an informal survey. If the results seem interesting, I'll work on something more scientific.

Dan

Default runners' high

I don't run so much any more, I did in my 40s until I sprained an ankle and never got back to running as regular aerobic exercise. But when I was diagnosed with PD in 2010 I started biking fast. Now I can say that I feel great when I finish a biking session I do feel a "biker's high" if that is a good name for it. It feels really great!

i was diagnosed in 2002 at age 48. at the time i was an avid player and coach of soccer and after every game my pd symptoms would decrease significantly for maybe a day, i became an exercise junkie, playing 2 soccer games a week, coaching 2 teams and running 3 days a week. i quit soccer in 2006 because i started to get painful charley horses during the games that made playing too risky. my disease has progressed to where i don't run anymore, i don't want to risk falling or wearing out my knees. i do get a very small benefit from stationary bike riding, i don't measure my rpms or pulse but ride for 60minutes and break a sweat. i was in a clinical trial a 6 years ago testing forced exercise on a tandem bike and i didn't notice any improvement but i went into the trial already doing very vigorous stationary riding.
