Caffeine and feet freezing
 

Hi all ...

I hope each of you had a great holiday. I know I did, and had way too much to eat, but it's worth it for the one day a year that we can indulge.

Quick (and easy) question .... does anyone know if drinking beverages with caffeine helps when your feet stick?

I've had Parkinson's for 12 years now and the first 11 years I didn't need Levadopa at all. I was on Mirapex and Artane and the two drugs, combined, worked so well that my family (honestly!) was second guessing if I even have PD.

There was a point in my life that I was drinking 3 cans of Mt. Dew in a four hour shift. For the past few years I have been drinking lemonade, Cranberry juice, mixed juice, etc. and the only symptom not under control is my feet freezing.

Because I am out of lemonade, I have gotten into the habit of grabbing a Mt. Dew and I think, although I'm not certain, that my freezing seems better.

Does anyone know if this could possibly be true?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
