Those of you who read my posts know I preach journaling and diarizing. Well here's where it could pay out big time for you should you choose to use it.

I know exactly what I can and can't eat to control my dyskinesia. I get it right about 90% of the time. I know what I can and can't eat to keep my meds up and I can do that about 90% of the time. The remaining 10% is subject to the unexpected or my dark side taking over the show, or just being plain old stupid.

All my calculations are going to go out the window when I throw the "E" word into my mix because it will change my metabolism rate and affect my blood glucose levels. This scares the H! out of me,but I've got to go there if I want to benefit from an exercise program. I'm starting this thread because if you are having trouble with "on"/ "off" and dyskinesia you need to take a good look at your glucose levels and start diarizing. When your body has to go to it's reserves for glucose your into a danger zone and your PD is going to respond... the phrase "hit the wall" will take on new meaning. This is not a disease for the faint hearted. We may not be able to cure PD but I come closer every day to the belief that we can grab it by the throat.

For those of you who do exercise, do you have problems with increased symptoms (even if it's only for a brief part of the whole picture and well worth the price)meaning: tremor, rigidity or dyskinesia? Especially ones that come on suddenly?

Here's a quote for the naysayers "would those of you who say it can't be done please get out of the way of those of us who are doing it!"

May the Force be with you (us)...J
