Parkinsons Recovery
My symptoms are currently reversing. My sons, myself and my sister tested very high copper levels. Found out once started prenatal vitamins started improving almost gone after nine months .
Neurologist confirmed marked improvement! Work out alot. Eating better. Cut out diet coke addiction. Pray alot! My sons and I take zinc to chelate copper. Water tested positive copper. Copper pipes leaching copper.
It’s so weird! You have been so positive for me. Footdrop gone. Cog wheeling gone. Smile back:) Bradykinesia almost gone. Just action tremor.
Copper and Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
They tell me I don’t have Wilson’s disease because cervoplasmin high too. They thought copper was elevated because of bc pills. But off them ordered own serum copper, i’m an OD, still high! My husband md, always said no resting tremor and he would notice it. Five doctors confirmed. Even went to Cleveland clinic. Raised 7000 dollars for mjff. Accepted it. Something kept telling me have another baby. Got off meds. Started prenatal. Bam – got better. I’m supposed to be in that big mjff study. Called Cleveland. They said pd never gets better. Must be ingesting something.
I kept telling neuro that thought copper toxicity due chronic green hair when moved into house with copper pipes five years ago. Peds doctor helped me most because tested sons and high so he called toxicologist geneticist and metabolic.
I’m so scared it’s going to come back but I don’t think God does partial miracles. My sister was higher than me. Currently get lots blood tests but say not Wilsons!
Thanks for positive vibes. Pd is so gloom doom. No hope awful, I think no one should not be given hope. People forget the God factor. Please post because if it happened to me it can happen to others. My husband always thought h1n1 did it. But he sees what vitamins are doing for me, vitamins with no copper.
My handwriting is no longer small. Still trembles but so much easier. I wrote and dated a journal so I can see the change.
Mirapex never really helped. It really only made a slight improvement in handwriting. Never helped foot, smile cog wheeling or tremor. My doctors sill say I have PD and haven’t seen all improvement – think I’m nuts!
But pharmacy assured me mirapex er out of system. Completely done with it Nov 1, started to taper it Oct 21. started prenatal vitamins Oct 21. Noticed improvement. Started documenting it all on Nov 16th. Haven’t seen neuro since nov 18th. I think they are going to be shocked!
Movement specialist said she never doubted my diagnosis, doesn’t want to see me til Feb. I’ve learned I have wrong doctors and the best peds doctor.
The thing that worried me was at 6 year old son started getting breasts. Doctor documented this. I researched crap out of it. It would come and go. Told peds everything, in youth elevated copper secondary sex characteristics. I started boys on vitamins. Youngest would not take them. I told doctor the oldest sons will be lower because been on vitamin. This turned out to be true. My husband’s copper level is normal.
I feel God put me thru this to help my boys! I’m planning to get prego once all gone . It will be miracle baby! It sounds unbelievable!
We have bottled water. Looking to get copper filter for shower! I would love to move but houses not selling. We have a really nice house but I hate the copper pipes!
