Dear Dr. Rodriquez,
Fri Jun 01, 2007 4:44 am Post subject: Q: Agility

I was refereed by Dr.Kathrynne Holden to post the following question for your elaboration and advise:

I am a PD patient for the past of two years and is on
medication i.e. one each sinemet 25/100 in three times and one Jumex in two times a day.

I have abilities difficulties during my exercises in gym and daily life as follows:

1.Able to move quickly or easily and neat in movement; nimble

2.Quickly to grip/seizing something firmly both from fingers/ hand to take

3.Easily to lost my grip on the slope

4.Agile mind to think quickly or acute

My physical trainer told me I have difficulties of agility
in his physical training program and I am not improving.

Is it an aging process or advancing stages of PD?


Kindly advise.

TEO KIM HOE

Dear Teo,
These are very good questions, but again I must request that you post them to "Ask the Doctor," as my practice is concerned with nutrition.

Sorry, Dr. Rodriguez is unavailable right now. It is difficult to get Internet access at our hotel...

But I think, to answer your question, it could be the progression of your PD. Or you are not optimized in your current medication.

Yours,
