PFWPA - Parkinson Foundation WPA
Добавлен 14 сен 2016
There are approximately 8,000 to 10,000 people in Western PA currently suffering from PD and that number will be increasing due to the aging population of the “baby boomer” generation. Each day we work towards fulfilling our mission with the help of our board of directors, staff, volunteers and donors. As the leading community resource for Parkinson's disease in Western Pennsylvania, we are committed to serving the Parkinson community with services, information, education and support.
Unshakeable: Spreading Awareness, Education, and Advocacy About Parkinson’s Disease
Arianna Spurlin, 17, is a senior at Dallas High School, a children’s book author, and the reigning Miss Pennsylvania’s Teen 2024.
Her community service initiative, “Unshakeable” focuses on spreading awareness, advocacy and education about Parkinson’s disease. Arianna’s grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Her peers were asking her questions about Parkinson’s disease when she was in middle school. Arianna’s younger sister is receiving the same questions. This sparked her to author a book titled, “Pop with Parkinson’s, so children can learn about the importance of acceptance and education. The book is sold at Barnes and Noble. She is completing a second book due to be publishe...

Dr Dorsey is fabulous. So grateful for his work!
Great speaker finding humour in condition.....Im sure more laughter and fun would help lots of PD sufferers.
I’m wondering if you’re familiar with my brother Brian’s case? He passed away July 16, 2021. He was diagnosed with A typical Parkinson’s, and I’m still puzzled why he passed from this illness. His symptoms escalated so quickly and the meds typically taken did not help him. He worked at AGH and was taken out by this way too young. Have there been any changes to the way patients like him are treated now? If he was diagnosed today would his chances of survival been better? What could have been done differently, that would have made his life easier. How does this happen to someone who is perfectly healthy? Is this hereditary? Why was it so hard to diagnose? I wish more information was available about Parkinson’s. If Michael J Fox had not been the poster child for this illness, a lot of people still wouldn’t be familiar with this illness. We need more information on how to diagnose and deal with this illness.
😅
Grateful I live in Canada where MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) is legal and available.
Hi from Wolverine. I took different brands of Botox. What causes one brand being more effective than another?
I hope everyone has found the RUclips interview of the older gentleman who has healed himself of advanced PD side effects with a keto diet. It’s incredibly hopeful news and doable for anyone who wants to try keto for themselves. It’s basically the old Atkins diet.
Can't hear a dare thing ( dam thing)❤
How many of the B1 Microlingual pills equal to one gram of the 500mg b1 HCL?
Where is your trial going to be at?
Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms... My Dad is completely okay and healthy now💯!
I appreciate the time you spend doing this podcast
What was your highest amount of setiment you seen in your practice. How does Botox work and what types of Botox are there?
Get on with it.
Lol
Hey man, you're like a breath of fresh air, I was a professional tennis player so exercise is no problem for me, I'll follow you, you're cool too!!
Excellent piece of information
Hilarious and brave!
Thank you ! Made me laugh. 🙏🏽💕
TY Dr. Leichliter and PFWPA for all that you do for the PD community! Knowledge is power as it gives us the knowlwdge, strength and endurance for most anything that life throws at us!
In my opinion, everyone should know at a very minimum (PD aside or not) CPR and Heimlich maneuver for Choking.
Dr. Leichliter - Thank you for what you are doing for this wonderful community. I hypothesize that Dentists could potentially be able to spot PD very early (from teeth Bruxism, night grinding) and could then ask about a history of constipation and RBD. If a yes, they could then administer a simple smell test and do a referral. At the very least, ask their patient to discuss with their GP possibly doing a PD screening on next visit.
Thank you, Dr. Leichliter & PFWPA
Very great and practical information. YOPD has made traveling so difficult. Now that I'm finally identified I might try traveling again with these very helpful guidelines.

As a testament to Chinese medicine. I used to have quite a strong movement disorder of shaking and all sorts of uncontrolled movements, muscle tension, to the point I couldn't function normally for over a year. I practiced tai chi everyday, went to acupuncture when I could, and also regularly used to do indoor climbing about twice a week, quit gluten..and then later regularly practiced meditation Until now I do not have any shaking or uncontrolled movements. Only some muscle tension, and some discomfort. I had stopped going to acupuncture after only about 7 sessions. So I really believe in Chinese medicine. I have recently gone back to a Chinese doctor for the general discomfort I feel and
